2017 Event Series Logo

Hello to all of IT4Causes, supporters, volunteers, and peers! We are so excited to announce our new Traveling Events Series!

This series will be held on different dates from April  to November and throughout the series you will be able to enjoy various unique experiences with food, drinks, networking opportunities, and some pretty exciting amusements that will create an unforgettable time at different locations all around Richmond. We will have live music performances at the Firehouse Theater, go riding on a Canal Cruise downtown,  share a belated Fourth of July barbecue at Ardent Craft Ales, and enjoy the sunset from the rooftop at 804RVA. The series finale will be our Tech4All 2.0 event, where you’ll get to meet many of the nonprofits we serve while also discovering some cool new technologies.  This is definitely something that you do not want to miss, so to ensure that you can guarantee your spot at every event, we are offering a special Event Series Subscription.

Subscriptions give you guaranteed admission to all events and cover all food, drinks, and entertainment for each event, as well as early access to networking.  Plus you get access to all 5 events (and perhaps a subscriber-only event, too) for the price of just 4.  If you’re unable to make one event, Subscriptions give you the ability to transfer your admission to a friend or colleague who might want to come instead. Subscriptions also include a number of Plus 1 tickets to each event that allow you to bring friends at a discounted rate.

If the subscription option isn’t the right fit for you, there is still the option to buy tickets for each individual event (not at the great cost offered by the Subscription though). Tickets include the coverage of food and drink as well as the chance to network with different nonprofits and small businesses. However, no matter what option you choose, everyone will be able to have unique experiences and entertainments for every event.

We can’t wait to present our Traveling Series to you! We guarantee it will not be one to miss!!
