The annual Southwest Virginia Economic Forum is where the region comes together to think boldly, build connections, and shape what comes next for Southwest Virginia and Central Appalachia.
This year's theme, Rooted & Rising, explores how Southwest Virginia can honor its deep community foundations while advancing bold, forward-looking economic growth. Across sessions on community and economic development, talent and workforce, tourism and more, the Forum creates space for the conversations and collaborations that support communities as they rise together.
