Technosphere 2023

Technosphere 2023 will take place on May 4 – May 7, 2023 at the Hampton Roads Convention Center.  The event will begin on the evening of Thursday, May 4 with some turn-in events.   Due to a lot of high school events now having tiered scoring and the number of events that we run each year it has become necessary to add another evening to the schedule.  Registration is through the Event Registration quick links, like we used for Regionals.

Sample schedule for Technosphere 2023:

Hotel Information

The Embassy Suites is under renovations and there are not any rooms available there at this point.  There is so many rooms not available due to the renovations, and it was vital that I had the state officer team together due to all the things they have to do at the conference.  Also, I could not split their chapters up either.
