February 29: Young Professionals’ Meet-Up

Last Thursday’s Young Professionals’ Meet-Up was a hit. Colleges from across the Region joined at the Chamber to pitch their academic programs and career advancement opportunities – giving attendees a one-on-one Q&A session with special promotions. Participants networked with new and old connections about their exciting personal and professional ventures, with a large range of food and refreshments provided by the Chamber.

We asked one of the guests, Jessica Timperman, Transurban, “what do you feel like you gained out of going to the Young Professionals' Meet-Up?” She confidently responded with, “these events give me the ability to meet other people similar to myself, share our personal and professional goals, as well as the knowledge on how we can further our education and career development.”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been dominating recent headlines. This game-changing technology holds the potential to improve our lives and businesses many times over. In our next C-Suite Roundtable, guest speaker Todd Marks, CEO of Mindgrub Technologies, will discuss “AI in Action.” He will help you uncover the many facets of artificial intelligence, categories of models like neural networks and language models, and how these technologies function. Furthermore, this special Roundtable will explore how enterprises can harness the power of artificial intelligence to enhance operational efficiency, improve staff productivity, and positively impact patient outcomes within the healthcare sector.

In this open-discussion Roundtable, we will tackle how and why health executives are using AI to tackle historic issues like nursing shortages, resource optimization, and gaps in patient care while reviewing applied examples of generative AI being used in enhancing patient engagement, streamlining workflows, and improving outcomes.

NOVA VetNet: The Entrepreneur's Journey to Small Business Ownership and Social Impact

March 20th | 5-7PM | Thundercat Technology

Small businesses are the engine of our economy and the engine for change in communities like Northern Virginia. According to SBA, there are more than two million Veteran-owned small businesses in America, employing 6 million people, and Veterans are 45% more likely to own a small business than civilians. Moreover, 14% of Veterans own a franchise, making them twice as likely to own one than our civilian counterparts. All hiring, all growth, and all impact are achieved at the local level, and Veterans, as small business owners can be at the forefront of change as it relates to perceptions about Veterans and the ability to influence the propensity to serve amongst our next generation of warfighters 



Join us on March 20th and hear from three successful Veteran entrepreneurs who will share their journey, lessons learned, and practical advice for building a successful small business in the private sector.
