Thanks for showing interest in our 2012 conference! The Big Event at Virginia Tech is committed to spreading the day of thanks throughout the nation. In 2010, we hosted our first annual conference. It was a great success and we are planning on hosting another conference this year.

During the weekend, we will share ideas and learn from each other about how to effectively plan and execute successful Big Events across the country. The conference is open to everyone. If you are looking to find ideas on how to improve your Big Event or are looking to start your own, this conference is for you!

In 2011, The Big Event at Virginia Tech had 6,731 volunteers complete 950 projects throughout the New River Valley. We hope that you will be able to come experience it with us.

If you are interested in attending the 2012 Big Event Conference at our campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, please contact Directors of Expansion, Hayden Renz (hayden89@vt.edu) and Keith Bardsley (bardsley@vt.edu) for more information.  We look forward to seeing you in April!
