Attendees seated in a circle during a community session at a tech week event

Virginia
Tech Week 2027

A week of builders, founders, investors and students across the Commonwealth. Talks, demos, and the kind of late-night conversations that start companies.

Dates and venues announced soon. One email, no noise.

Five days, one state, a whole lot of people building.

Not a conference badge and a tote bag. A week of rooms small enough that you leave knowing the people in them.

Talks worth the drive

Operators from Richmond, Charlottesville, Arlington and Blacksburg on what they actually shipped.

Demo night

Early-stage teams show working product to a room that can help. No pitch decks required.

Capital in the room

Regional funds and angels who write checks in the Commonwealth, not just visit it.

After hours

The part everyone remembers. Small rooms, long tables, real introductions.
