Northern Virginia Technology Council CXO Auction

The NVTC CXO Auction is an exciting new event during which regional and industry c-level executives will be auctioned off to raise money for NVTC's Veterans Employment Initiative, which provides tools and resources to match veterans with employment opportunities in Virginia's technology community. During the live auction event, attendees will bid electronically to win one-on-one meetings with c-level leaders. 

Auctioned executives are CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, CFOs and CMOs with a total combined budget of more than $1 billion to spend on tech solutions in 2015-2016. Participating CXOs are looking to meet qualified vendors for future projects in areas ranging from cloud computing, SaaS, data centers and IT infrastructure to cybersecurity, mobile, data analytics and virtual reality.

Winning bidders are guaranteed a meeting with their auctioned executive within 12 months, during which they can gain insight, pitch future plans or receive advice. Some auction packages go beyond a meeting to include lunch, dinner or wine tasting.
