Tech Conference Series
What cities is Tech Week running in during 2026?
3 min read
Tech Week is running in four U.S. cities in 2026: Boston, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The calendar starts in Boston, moves to New York, then returns for a fall West Coast run in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Tech Week is a decentralized technology conference presented by a16z, so each city is built around hundreds of independently hosted events.
2026 city schedule
| City | Dates | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Boston | May 26–31, 2026 | Tech Week will debut in Boston in 2026 |
| New York | June 1–7, 2026 | Tech Week returns to New York for the fourth year |
| San Francisco | October 5–11, 2026 | Fall Bay Area edition |
| Los Angeles | October 12–18, 2026 | Fall LA edition, immediately after SF |
That is the full 2026 city lineup currently published on the Tech Week site.
What each city means for founders and teams
Tech Week is not a single-venue conference. It is a citywide, decentralized event week. That means the experience changes from city to city, but the format stays consistent:
- Hosts run individual events
- Attendees browse one official calendar
- Each event has its own registration or application process
- Hundreds of events can happen across a host city in the same week
For founders, that creates a more targeted week. You can choose events that fit your stage, your product, your market, or your community. For investors, it creates dense access to startups, operators, and fellow funds. For companies and community builders, it opens up a way to show up inside the broader Tech Week audience.
Why Boston, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles matter
The 2026 schedule covers four of the biggest tech hubs in the U.S.
- Boston: new for Tech Week in 2026
- New York: a returning anchor city
- San Francisco: the fall West Coast edition
- Los Angeles: the final city on the 2026 calendar
That mix gives Tech Week a year-round footprint across the startup ecosystem. It also keeps the format local. Each city is shaped by the hosts, the community, and the events they put on.
Popular event formats on the Tech Week host page include:
- Panels
- Happy hours
- Hackathons
- Lunches
- Experiential events
The Tech Week team also encourages creative ideas, so hosts are not limited to a single event type.
How to attend or host
If you want to attend, browse the official calendar and register for the events that fit your week. Attendance is event-by-event, and individual hosts handle approval or registration.
If you want to host, submit a proposal through the Tech Week host page. The Tech Week team reviews submissions and follows up after approval.
For 2026, the site says submissions are open for:
- San Francisco Tech Week
- Los Angeles Tech Week
If you are planning a founder dinner, a workshop, a panel, or a community meetup, those are the two current host windows called out on the site.
