Tech Week 2026 (San Francisco Edition)

Tech Week 2026, presented by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), is a decentralized technology gathering held across multiple cities, with its flagship San Francisco edition scheduled for October 5-11, 2026 (the series also runs in Boston, New York, and Los Angeles across the year). Rather than a single centralized conference, Tech Week operates as a platform for hundreds of independently organized events, including panels, happy hours, hackathons, lunches, and experiential gatherings hosted by founders, funds, and companies across the technology ecosystem.

The San Francisco edition brings together startup founders, venture investors, and established technology leaders for a week of high-density networking and idea exchange, covering emerging themes such as artificial intelligence, deep tech, and the future of venture capital. Because programming is distributed across many independent hosts, attendees can curate a personalized schedule from a broad calendar of sessions.

Tech Week has grown into one of the most closely watched weeks on the startup calendar, offering a grassroots, community-driven alternative to traditional single-venue conferences while still attracting top-tier investors and operators from across the global tech industry.
