Let’s Connect.
Saturday, October
26,
at Hula in Burlington
It’s harder and harder to get face time with a potential employer these days. Job seekers can fire o dozens of resumes without ever making contact with another human.
That’s one reason to come to the Vermont Tech Jam: Recruiters from some of the state’s biggest tech companies — Marvell, GlobalFoundries, Collins Aerospace, BETA Technologies — will be there, talking with applicants in person. It’s a great opportunity to have an actual conversation and make a personal connection.
But you don’t need to be looking for a job to get something out of the Tech Jam. You’ll also connect with other industry professionals who live here — especially valuable if you work remotely. Those serendipitous encounters often spark new ideas and collaborations, and there’s no better setting
in which to have them than Hula, with its myriad creative meeting spaces and spectacular lake views.
The Tech Jam also aims to inspire, with presentations highlighting two remarkable Vermont success stories: Matty Benedetto, the Burlington-based creator of the Unnecessary Inventions brand, who has turned his obsession with inventing and audience engagement into a career as a content creator; and OnLogic cofounder Roland Groeneveld and vice president of HR Lauren Lavallee, who have helped build the South Burlingtonbased custom computer system provider into a powerhouse local employer generating more than $100 million annually.
As they can attest: It’s possible to do big things in this small state, especially when we work together.

Our Hosts at Hula
A hub for Vermont businesses, a venue for events
If you still haven’t seen Hula, o Lakeside Avenue in Burlington’s South End, let the Vermont Tech Jam be your excuse to check it out. Hula is once again a presenting sponsor of the event.
Since opening in 2020, Hula has become a popular conference venue. Step inside, and you’ll see why. This is no soulless corporate hotel: It’s a former oven factory that’s been reimagined as a renewable-energy-powered o ce space and coworking hub.
With its abundance of greenery and natural light, Hula’s two-story “channel” — the former factory floor — encourages expansive thinking. The glassed-in conference rooms and soundproof meeting pods provide an opportunity to focus.
It’s the ideal venue for this event — a model of energy e ciency and creative reuse that shows o one of Burlington’s greatest natural assets: Lake Champlain.

PRESENTATIONS
NOON TALK
Matty Benedetto: This Is Unnecessary
The oscillating TV stand. The alarm clock cup. The Lego Suck It!, which vacuums up Legos and instantly sorts them by size.
These are all examples of Matty Benedetto’s Unnecessary Inventions — pointless products he has designed, fully prototyped and documented across his social media channels. He’s made more than 400 of them in the past five years. His videos mimic actual promotional campaigns, and watching him take a ridiculous idea from concept to reality is oddly satisfying, which explains his audience of 15 million.
And that’s just on his social channels; Benedetto has also demonstrated his inventions on TV, including appearances on the “Today” show and repeat segments on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” The Lego Suck It! was a hit with Clarkson and her guests, including “America’s Got Talent” judge Simon Cowell.
Big brands have noted Benedetto’s reach; Captain Morgan paid him to create the Super Bowl Punch Bowl — you might have seen it, and Matty himself, in an ad during this year’s game. He’s also been part of branded collabs with Disney, Wendy’s and Apple.
A Long Island, N.Y., native, Benedetto came to Vermont in 2008 to attend Saint Michael’s College. After earning a business degree in 2012, he stuck around. His current base of operations is a spacious second-floor suite on the top block of Church Street that used to house the Gap.
Benedetto will discuss his unlikely entrepreneurial journey — and share his strategy for making content that viewers can’t resist sharing.
KEYNOTE PRESENTATION @ 3 P.M.
From Zero to $100 Million
How OnLogic built a global business in South Burlington
Some Tech Jam exhibitors over the years have been sold, moved or disappeared. OnLogic, a locally owned industrial PC company founded in 2003, has demonstrated real staying power.
Husband-and-wife team Roland and Lisa Groeneveld launched the company from their kitchen table. He was the engineer; she brought sales and marketing muscle — and a connection to Vermont. Lisa grew up in Barre; they built the business here to be closer to family.
Initially known as Logic Supply, OnLogic has grown and changed as computing demands have shifted. Today it’s known for creating hardware that can survive in some of the most challenging environments on the ground, below it and even above Earth — NASA is one of its clients, along with Amazon, General Dynamics, General Motors and Universal Studios.
OnLogic’s specialty is building small, fanless, highly reliable computers — some of the company’s systems have been operating nonstop for more than a decade.
In spring 2024, OnLogic opened its new global headquarters: a 150,000-squarefoot, three-story building visible from Interstate 89, by the landmark “Whales’ Tails” sculpture. It features geothermal heating and uses solar power, and the building is four times larger than OnLogic’s previous

location across the highway.
The gleaming new facility is a sign of things — read: employees — to come. The company currently employs about 300 people at six o ces worldwide, including 180 in Vermont; it’s hoping to expand its local workforce and will be hiring at the Tech Jam.
The University of Vermont Grossman School of Business recognized OnLogic in September with a Vermont Legacy Award.
In this keynote presentation, Seven Days deputy publisher Cathy Resmer talks with cofounder and now-executive board chair Roland Groeneveld and vice president of human resources Lauren Lavallee about how OnLogic has adapted and expanded in a rapidly changing business environment. Lavallee, a South Hero native, has worked primarily with OnLogic since she graduated from Champlain College in 2011 with a BS in marketing management; she earned a master’s in business administration from Champlain in 2015. She’ll explain how and why she chose to grow her career at OnLogic — and what opportunities the company o ers for the next generation of Vermont workers.
