Tech Week Greenville returns Sept. 20-26 with 10 events across the Upstate
GREENVILLE, S.C. (Sept. 13, 2026) – Tech Week Greenville returns for its second year Sept. 20-26, bringing 10 events to venues across Greenville County for founders, tech workers, students and anyone interested in the Upstate’s technology and startup community.
The week includes a pitch competition, panels, a women in tech brunch, an AI and workforce discussion, a block party and a rooftop social. Events include both free programs and events that require a Tech Week pass.
Tech Week Greenville was inspired by Nick Dennis’ experience at a Tech Week in California in 2024. Dennis brought the idea back to Greenville and, with the help of his three other co-founders, launched the first Tech Week Greenville last year.
“I went to San Francisco Tech Week and thought, we should be doing this in Greenville,” says Dennis, Co-Founder of Tech Week Greenville. “Instead of one big conference, it brought people together through smaller events all over the city. We wanted to see what that could look like here.”
