MALVERN, PA — Rajant Corporation has been announced as the Video Sponsor for the 10th anniversary of the Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) Summit in 2024. The two-day event will take place on October 17th and 18th in Pikeville, Kentucky. Tickets went on sale this week, with early bird registration available through August 1st using the discount code “RAJANT.”
“This year’s SOAR Summit celebrates being in existence for a decade,” said Colby Hall, Executive Director of SOAR. “Throughout the years, Rajant has been with SOAR as a loyal supporter and has renewed again in 2024 to be the SOAR Summit Video Sponsor. Because of dedicated sponsorship, like Rajant’s, and the committed patronage of attendees, the 2024 SOAR Summit will be the most expansive ever, taking over all of downtown Pikeville.”
The SOAR Summit will host plenary sessions at the University of Pikeville, an Exhibit Hall at Appalachian Wireless Arena, and breakout sessions at various small businesses and community organizations on Main Street. The program will include multiple tracks that align with SOAR’s overall blueprint, featuring topics such as AI’s impact on Eastern Kentucky and strategies to counter population loss by retaining young talent. Pre-Summit sessions, including several receptions, will take place on October 15th and 16th.
“Rajant has found a home in Eastern Kentucky’s Morehead and has expanded operations, offering more jobs for families to stay in their community,” said Robert Schena, CEO and Co-founder of Rajant. “SOAR’s dedication to reversing population loss and driving prosperity for Eastern Kentucky counties is a mission Rajant wholly supports. We are grateful to Congressman Hal Rogers, who serves as a Co-Principal Officer at SOAR, for making Rajant a part of SOAR’s annual event. In 2024, we will be the SOAR Summit Video Sponsor again. We will also offer advocacy and insights to inform other businesses of the richness of doing business in Kentucky.”
The SOAR Summit aims to foster economic development and community growth in Eastern Kentucky, highlighting the region’s potential and opportunities for businesses and residents alike. Rajant’s ongoing support underscores its commitment to the region and its future growth.
