Category: Event Calendar

Details
Get2KnowNoke has partnered with 25 regional organizations to reinvent what Experience Conference means to the Roanoke Region and what it could be. Organizers have developed 40+ programs, events, artistic showcases, and socials to encourage professional development and regional improvements while celebrating all the area offers. Let’s RISE together!
The conference encompasses all levels of professionals, hiring managers and recruiters, tech and innovation professionals, and community change-makers. Experience will provide tracks to help guide your selections.
However, attendees can choose their own adventure; anyone can attend any of the sessions, regardless of their career path, and all are welcome to network and mingle at keynote sessions and after-hour events.
Unlike many conferences where people stay in one venue throughout the event, Experience, as its name implies, encourages attendees to explore the region’s vibrant urban core.
Sessions will be held at The Taubman Museum of Art, Center in the Square, Hotel Roanoke, The Dumas Center, PowerSchool, Virginia Western, and Fralin Biomedical Research Institute. More venues will be announced soon, with full venue details available in the Experience App (coming soon).

- PATIENCE FAIRBROTHER - VP of Talent Attraction, DCI
- RISHI JAITLY - Founder of the Institute for Leadership in Technology at Virginia Tech
- ED WALKER - Transformative Developer and CEO of Riverdale Southeast LLC
- MARTY WEINER - Founding Engineer at Pinterest and Former CTO at Reddit
