AI Day Watch Party

We invite you to join the Virginia SBDC, Greater Roanoke & NRV for an AI Day Watch Party!

On July 16, 2026 we'll be gathering in-person to watch America's SBDC's inaugural AI Day Virtual Summit. AI Day is a national celebration of how artificial intelligence is transforming small businesses and communities.

During the summit, we'll:

• Hear real-world success stories from entrepreneurs and SBDC advisors
• Learn practical AI strategies that businesses are using today
• Explore free AI resources from Google.org and Grow with Google
• Discover new opportunities for collaboration across business and community support networks

This is a great opportunity to learn alongside fellow business owners and economic development partners and discuss how we can continue supporting entrepreneurs together.

We hope you'll join us for an engaging afternoon of learning, networking, and, of course, popcorn!
