Staying Connected

17th Annual Event: October 1, 2026

Join us for RIVA’s 17th Annual Staying Connected, RIVA’s signature networking and fundraising event bringing together 200+ GovCon, tech industry, and federal peers for meaningful connections and a great cause. Last year, Staying Connected raised $64,000 for SevaTruck–an organization we’re proud to continue supporting, with 100% of ticket proceeds benefiting their mission to provide nutritious meals throughout Washington, DC.

Since 2016, SevaTruck has served more than 700,000 meals through its nonprofit food truck and Free Meal Service campaign, delivering hot, nutritious meals to children and families in need, no questions asked. Through partnerships with schools, food banks, and community organizations, SevaTruck helps fight food insecurity while supporting student focus, attendance, and success.
