Description:
The Roanoke - Blacksburg Technology Council (RBTC) hosts the April Tech and Toast entitled "From Start-up to Global…with HQ in Roanoke". The attendance cost also includes breakfast.

Meridium, the company Bonz Hart founded in Roanoke in 1993, has grown into a multi-national company with offices worldwide. Going global brought many challenges (some expected and some not) that have forced the company to think and do business in new ways. Join us on April 19th as Bonz shares his insights about growing a global technology company from downtown Roanoke.
