Join RIoT for our annual State of the Region and get an inside look at the pulse of the region—where we stand now and the exciting opportunities ahead.

In the spirit of the “State of the Union,” RIoT’s Executive Director, Tom Snyder, will address the critical issues shaping our region—from the evolving economy to emerging employment trends and business growth. He’ll share his thoughts on where we’re headed, what challenges lie ahead, and what are potential actions that could be taken to address them.

This is your chance to network with forward-thinking professionals, entrepreneurs, and innovators from across industries, fostering collaboration and creating new business opportunities. Bring your perspective and your ideas!

This isn’t just another event—it’s a chance to be part of a conversation on where we go next. Don’t miss out on valuable insights and a deep dive into the region’s current and future landscape!

Doors will open at 5:00 PM - show up early and network and connect with new/old friends, create opportunities, and foster innovation! Programming will begin around 5:30 PM.
