Graf Research Corporation hosts its third all-company event

With the covid-19 pandemic, Graf Research Corporation was regrettably unable to host its annual All-Company Event in 2020. However, this year we were thrilled to bring it back! In order to take precautions, the event went virtual this time around, so things were a little different. Despite this, we still had another excellent set of presentations from everyone at the company covering topics such as our current research and technologies as well as company culture, history, and values. These presentations are essential to getting everyone on the same page and familiarized with one another’s work.

The company event was split this year between the 20th and the 27th, and we held a casual evening gathering after each day. The Blacksburg folks hung out at Eastern Divide and Rising Silo Brewery, and the Atlanta people chatted over beers and roasted cauliflower at Wild Heaven and Best End Brewing Company.

Despite the fact that we couldn’t be together entirely in person, we’re pumped about all the new ideas and research the team is producing. Every team member plays a valuable part in the company, and we’re excited for what we’ve got planned this coming year.

Graf Research Corporation Hosts Its Second All-Company Event

In keeping with tradition, we’ve hosted our second annual all-company event, this time at Mountain Lake Resort in Pembroke, Virginia. Too bad it was so foggy when we got there! But no worries—as before, everyone gave presentations covering the company’s current research and potential new directions, and we heard a lot of ideas for services and products the company could offer its customers. Great job, team! In the evening, we had a chance to converse more casually at Harvest Porch and had fun chatting and playing games.

We consider our all-company events to be vital to the company’s success. They generate new ideas, give the team a chance to get to know each other, and get everyone excited for the company’s future. We look forward to following up all these great ideas in the coming weeks to start work towards transforming them into a reality.

First All-Company Event

First All-Company Event

Graf Research Corporation has hosted its first annual all-company event. What a blast! As part of the event, everyone in the company got together to present ideas on leadership, company culture, business growth, research and development, and much more—they did a great job, too! After the presentations, the company hosted a tailgate for the team and their families that included cornhole, foosball, and shuffleboard, with catering from Due South BBQ. Later in the evening, we attended the Georgia Tech vs. Virginia Tech football game (as VT fans, we won’t discuss the outcome…).

Collaboration has always been of paramount importance at Graf Research, and we hope that this event continues to foster camaraderie among the company’s team members. A lot of great ideas are churning, and we’re excited for the new directions the company is headed in.
