Our event planning partner

The Tech Week line-up runs on Locarius

Every session, workshop, and coworking night you see here is published through Locarius — the platform we trust to run a full week of events without dropping a beat. Registrations, schedules, reminders, and day-of logistics all live in one place, so our organizers spend the week on the community instead of the spreadsheets and email.
