Palm Beach Tech Week invites community to submit events, celebrate tech community growth  

Mark your calendars: Palm Beach Tech Week is taking place April 10 to 16, 2027.

The weeklong event springs from the excitement building in South Florida Palm Beach County’s tech community amid significant momentum. Most recently, Andreessen Horowitz announced it is establishing a regional headquarters for its $1.18 billion American Dynamism fund. Meanwhile, ServiceNow is developing an AI hub in West Palm Beach with plans for creating more than 850 jobs,  D-Wave selected Boca Raton for its global headquarters to help put South Florida on the quantum map, and Vanderbilt University is developing a graduate campus focused on business, AI and data science.

“I’ve spent 15 years helping lead South Florida’s tech industry, and we’ve never seen momentum like this. Palm Beach Tech Week 2027 will showcase why Florida is becoming America’s Tech Hub,” Joe Russo, Founder and CEO of Midnight Security and founder of South Florida Tech Hub and 1909, told Refresh Miami.

What can we expect? Palm Beach Tech Week and its partners, including South Florida Tech Hub, will bring independently organized events together under one calendar. The week aims to connect the region’s established entrepreneurial community with the growing number of companies, investors and innovators arriving in South Florida. Organizers will be announcing more about Palm Beach Tech Week at a Palm Beach Tech Season Kickoff this evening in West Palm Beach, where along with Tech Week other upcoming events will be announced, including the AWS Defense Tech Leadership Summit and Wall Street Journal Invest Life.

The first announced Tech Week events are already on the calendar, including Tomorrow City, a two-day urban-innovation conference, the ORBIT Festival in West Palm Beach’s Warehouse District, Palm Beach Sports Tech at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach Tech Happy Hour, and an event celebrating student entrepreneurship and STEM at FAU High School.

And the calendar is wide open: Palm Beach Tech Week is officially calling for event submissions. For example, companies can host open houses and demonstrations. Venture funds and tech organizations can convene networking events or founder dinners. Universities can showcase research and their emerging talent. An organization could organize workshops or even a hackathon. “We hope it’s a big tent,” said Russo.

Palm Beach Tech Week is designed to be built by the community it celebrates, say its organizers, including Nicholas Mohnacky.

“AI is making information abundant and connections easier to initiate, but trust is still built between people. It happens when we show up, exchange ideas and work together. Palm Beach Tech Week is about bringing the people shaping this region into the same rooms, creating relationships that turn ideas into companies and opportunities into real progress,” said Mohnacky, Co-Founder and CEO of bundleIQ.
