About this Event

Going to Boston and the Future of CHO


Direct air access isn’t just a convenience—it’s a catalyst for economic growth, talent attraction, and long-term competitiveness.

Join CvilleBioHub, regional leaders, and community stakeholders for a focused morning conversation on what improved connectivity between Charlottesville–Albemarle Airport (CHO) and Boston could mean for the future of our region.

Boston is one of the world’s most important hubs for life sciences, venture capital, higher education, and advanced technology. Strengthening ties between CHO and Boston has the potential to unlock new opportunities for Central Virginia in supporting business growth, research partnerships, workforce mobility, and investment across sectors.

This event will explore:

  • Why airport access matters for regional competitiveness
  • The strategic importance of Boston to Charlottesville’s innovation economy
  • How direct connectivity could support business, talent, and ecosystem growth
  • What’s needed—across public and private sectors—to make this future possible

The morning will feature brief presentations followed by an interactive Q&A and networking, creating space for dialogue, alignment, and shared vision.

Whether you’re a business leader, investor, academic partner, or civic stakeholder, this conversation is an opportunity to engage in shaping the next chapter of connectivity and growth for the Charlottesville region.
