CBIC Gala September 2020: What an Event!!!
This town clearly loves its tech & innovation community
For the first time in its 22-year history, the CBIC Awards gala was held not in a ballroom or theater, but in the new gathering realm that is the Internet. Last night, with 300 estimated viewers, Central Virginia’s leading innovators raised glasses in unison all over town from remote viewing locations — even as far away as Martha’s Vineyard and San Diego — to honor recipients of the 2020 CBIC Awards.
A virtual gala wasn’t the original plan. And we were all wishing we could be together. But what the CBIC team of volunteers created was incredibly interactive (the dance parties!), fun to watch (Tech on Tap will never be the same!), easy to participate in (so many great discussions to join!), and as our attendees told us, it set the bar for virtual events.
From healthcare to farming, and education to cyber security, we are clearly passionate about entrepreneurship and we love living and working in Central Virginia. CBIC provides a rich forum for sharing, learning, connecting and building this ecosystem.
To ensure this continues, renew your CBIC membership, join the discussions, sponsor CBIC events and let’s keep this incredible community alive and thriving!
Thank you so much! We are so proud of all of you and all that you will achieve!
