Pi(e) Day Regional Symposium

Join us on Pi(e) Day (3.14.25) for the Pathways to the Future Regional Symposium 2025, a dynamic day of exploration and conversation focused on building a thriving future for our region.

Key Themes:

  • Intersectionality: delve into the ways that key issues intersect to shape the entire region.
  • A Shared Vision: foster conversations and collaborative exploration of regional challenges and opportunities.
  • Abundance, Not Scarcity: challenge the notion of limited resources (infrastructure isn't pie!) and explore how to ensure that everyone has access to what they need to thrive.

Everyone has a stake in our region. If you live or work in RVA, your perspective can help us formulate what it will take to maintain a high quality of life in the years to come.
