Charlottesville Annual Chapter Meeting Recap:
Cheers to a Successful Gathering!
Our annual chapter meeting in Charlottesville was a resounding success! Set against the backdrop of Charlottesville’s vibrant Downtown Mall, members gathered for a day of learning, networking, and a little bit of fun.
The Annual Chapter Meeting kicked off Thursday night with a well-attended wine tasting that offered a relaxed opportunity to reconnect and unwind. Led by Fred Reno of the Thomas Jefferson Wine Company, attendees learned about the local wine industry and the history of Virginia winemaking. The good times continued with a memorable group dinner at Hamilton’s.
Friday featured a standout panel discussion focused on data centers and the evolving digital infrastructure landscape. Industry leaders shared insights into site selection, power capacity, and the future of hyperscale development—an especially timely topic given ongoing demand across the region.
Other informative presentations included: an update on site development and engineering from Champion Sponsor, Kimley Horn;
a development analysis of Virginia’s first mass timber mixed use
development, Apex Plaza; and an overview of UVA’s North Fork mixed-use development. A huge thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and attendees for making this event such a success!
