For six days, Sacramento runs on tech. You’re invited to all of it.
20+ events. 10+ venues. One city.
One week. One city. Infinite possibilities. Sac Tech Week is a decentralized, citywide celebration of innovation — founders, startups, technologists, creatives, investors, students, and community leaders across the capital region.
Workshops, panels, demos, art experiences, startup showcases, and gatherings hosted throughout Sacramento. No badge scanners. No hotel ballrooms. The city is the venue.

04 / WHY YOU SHOULD SHOW UP
Six days. Twenty-plus reasons to leave the house.
20+ events across the city — panels, workshops, build sessions, mixers, and demos. Most run 1–2 hours. Five signature events hosted by STW, with the Tandem Summit closing out the week.
Most of it is free. All of it is open. You don't need a badge, an invite, or a job in tech.
-
01 / You’ll meet the people building here
Not the ones speaking about it. Founders mid-pitch, engineers mid-build, makers mid-process. In the room, not on a stage.
-
02 / You’ll see it before it’s finished
Products that aren’t done yet. A warehouse turned into light and motion. Films made by people who live twenty minutes from you.
-
03 / You’ll be early
To whatever Sacramento becomes next. This is year one.
No badge scanners. No hotel ballrooms. No velvet rope. The city is the venue and the door is open.
[ 04 / The Program ]

06 / THE CITY
> 38.5816° N / 121.4944° W — SAC_CA
Sacramento, specifically.
The river, the bridges, the warehouses, the airport rabbit. STW doesn't rent the city as a backdrop — place earns its way into every series. Real people doing real work: founders mid-pitch, engineers mid-build, makers mid-process, candid over composed. And the rabbit at the airport, which has been leaping at something none of us can see for years now.
06 / HOST AN EVENT
Got something to run?
The week is built by the people who already do this work. If you’ve got a workshop, a panel, a build night, or a room — we’ll find it a slot, an audience, and a place on the calendar.
We’re short on build sessions and partner showcases. Panels are filling up fast.
