SUMMARY:Xperience 2015
DESCRIPTION:Connecting and empowering young professionals to strengthen our community\n\n\n\nCommunities that actively promote and leverage their amenities have a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining quality employees and future leaders. That's why we're proud to introduce Xperience 2015\, a one-of-a-kind event filled with ideas and inspiration to get young professionals   and those not quite so young -- connected\, engaged and involved.\n\n \n\nAt our inaugural Xperience event\, March 27-28 in Roanoke\, participants will come away with a better understanding of living\, working and playing in our region\, make a boatload of connections and maybe even snag a new job.\n\n \n\nWe're bringing together some of the most influential and connected thinkers and doers in the region to help Xperience participants see the Roanoke and New River valleys in a new light   a place to pursue dreams\, meet like-minded leaders\, raise a family\, wander and explore. In other words\, to achieve that perfect work-life balance.\n\n \n\nXperience kicks off on Friday\, March 27\, with a reception at 16 West in downtown Roanoke. Participants will get a chance to mingle at one of the region's newest venues\, where entrepreneurship\, community activism and artistic expression come together amid the aroma of wood-fired pizza.  And a gym upstairs to work it all off.\n\n \n\nThe next day\, Saturday\, March 28\, we move to the Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center for workshops and panel discussions hosted by local entrepreneurs and community leaders from business\, government and non-profits. The event will showcase the quality of life of the Roanoke & New River valleys to young professionals who may be unaware of our many amenities. \n\n \n\nThese sessions will provide first-hand experiences from those who have found success here. Tentative topics include The Anatomy of our Success\; Why We're Here\; Building your Professional Network\; Finding Your Next Job\; Career in Transition\; How to Get Involved and Make a Difference\; Project Livability\; Preparing for Leadership\; The Impact of Self-Branding\; Leverage Your Network\; The Power of Leadership\; and more.\n\n\n\nXperience will conclude Saturday afternoon with a segment designed to highlight Roanoke's burgeoning outdoor recreational culture. Participants will then celebrate the conclusion with a reception at one of our booming breweries.
