The biggest night in Hampton Roads innovation is almost here

October 14, 2026

For one night, the people shaping the future of Hampton Roads will take center stage.

The entrepreneurs building companies. The researchers developing breakthrough technologies. The innovators transforming defense, education and government.

28 finalists. Nine awards. One unforgettable night.

On October 29, 757 TechNite, presented by JPMorganChase, takes over The Dome in Virginia Beach.

This isn't another conference or business meeting. It's an evening celebrating the people and organizations making Hampton Roads a place worth watching.

You'll meet the people behind the region's biggest ideas, make new connections and experience the excitement as this year's winners are announced.

And because this is a celebration, country music star Canaan Smith will perform LIVE.

Hampton Roads has a lot to celebrate. And this is the night to do it.

Special thanks to Virginia Beach Economic Development and The HIVE - VB Business Resource Center for helping bring this celebration to Virginia Beach.

October 29 | 5–8 PM | The Dome, Virginia Beach
