Some of the most meaningful impact in Richmondโ€™s tech community starts with a connectionโ€”and grows from there.

Our work with Jonathan Young and Virginia State University is a great example of what strong community partnerships can make possible.

Through the years, rvatech/ and VSU have worked together to create connections to industry mentors, expand hands-on opportunities for students, support workforce development, and help strengthen pathways into technology careers.

For Jonathan, the value of being a part of the rvatech/ community comes down to โ€œ๐ง๐ž๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐š๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ, ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ โ€ and, above all, โ€œ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ.โ€

Weโ€™re excited to welcome Erin Joe, Special Counsel at Wiley Rein LLP, to the WiT stage on November 17.

Attendees will walk away with insights into how leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and strategic decision-making can turn cyber preparedness into true business resilienceโ€”and how women leaders can help shape the future of enterprise risk management.

It takes strong product thinking, better decisions, customer empathy, and knowing what matters when everything is moving lightning fast.
Thatโ€™s what ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ญ๐…๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ 2026: ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐ซ๐š๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ is all about.

On October 22, Richmondโ€™s product community will come together for a full day of practical insights, fresh perspectives, and conversations to help you sharpen your craft.

Here are two of the incredible voices joining this yearโ€™s agenda:

๐ŸŽค Jill Stover Heinze | Principal AI Strategist & Founder, GroundSpring
๐’๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง: "Good Intentions Are Not Enough: A New Design Canvas for Responsible AI Products"
AI products can be useful and viableโ€”and still cause harm. Jill will challenge product leaders to look beyond the happy path and build with risk, ethics, and empathy in mind.

๐ŸŽค Jessica S. Hall | VP of Product, Tidal Cyber
๐’๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง: "AI Is Finding More Vulnerabilities. Which Ones Actually Matter?"
When AI can surface more information than ever, how do you know what actually matters? Jessica will explore turning complex security intelligence into insights customers can understand, trust, and act on.

And this is just a glimpse of whatโ€™s coming. Stay tuned for more of the day's agenda coming soon!
