Arizona Tech Week is set to begin in just 19 days, with more than 250 partner-hosted events planned throughout the state, according to a March 18 announcement from organizers. The weeklong event will include workshops, founder meetups, industry panels, technology demonstrations, open houses, startup pitches, and other activities.

The event aims to bring together startup founders, investors, corporate leaders, policymakers and technology enthusiasts for a series of keynotes, panels and networking opportunities. Organizers say Arizona Tech Week will highlight the state’s growing role in the global technology sector and showcase local innovations and leaders.

Some of the featured activities include a morning dance event called The Morning Rave; wine tastings paired with entrepreneurship discussions in Sedona and Cottonwood; hikes at Phoenix Mountain Preserve; technology demonstrations at Yuma Proving Grounds; science-focused barbecue sessions in Peoria; scavenger hunts in El Mirage; chartered flights over Show Low; virtual reality pilot training in Prescott; investor pitch sessions from pace cars in Avondale; data storytelling events in Mesa; cybersecurity challenges in Yuma; tech trivia nights in Phoenix; self-driving vehicle demos by Tesla; live performances and eBike test rides from CES 2026 exhibitors. Additional highlights include drone flight demonstrations and AI discussions at Topgolf.

Arizona Tech Week is supported by Honeywell Aerospace, IdealabArizona and Western Alliance Bank. Throughout the week, attendees will have opportunities to visit different regions of Arizona to experience firsthand some of the technological advancements taking place locally.

Recent economic development efforts have contributed to this momentum. On September 12, 2022, the Arizona Commerce Authority announced that its initiatives led to a projected creation of 24,186 new jobs for Fiscal Year 2022—151% above its goal—and $10.75 billion invested into communities statewide.
