BDPA Richmond Attends 31st Annual National BDPA Technology Conference
In August of this year, HSCC coordinators, trainers, and chaperones accompanied nine students
to attend the 31st Annual National BDPA Technology Conference held in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Conference events were held at the Raleigh Convention Center, Marriott and Sheraton Hotels, August
5 - 8. Students, from across the United States, attended seminars covering a wide range of
professional and technical development topics presented by leaders in the IT industry.
In addition to attending seminars, students toured the facility of the world’s leading open source
and Linux provider, Red Hat, headquartered in Raleigh. Students were also given a tour of North
Carolina Central University, located in Durham.
Finally, students networked with young entrepreneurs, IT executives and other professionals in
the Information Technology industry.
The following individuals represented the Richmond Chapter in Raleigh this year:

This year, the Richmond placed 14th out of a total of 23 teams in the HSCC competition, with
the following teams ranking in the top 5:

The opportunity that our students were given to travel, become more educated, and network,
makes this trip a success and BDPA Richmond was only able to make this a possibility through
the commitment of its volunteers and the generosity of its public and private funding sources.
