Michigan Tech Week is a premier event bringing together tech innovators, founders, investors, and enthusiasts across Michigan to celebrate innovation, share knowledge, and network. The week is filled with keynote talks, panels, workshops, networking events, and opportunities to explore Michigan's thriving tech ecosystem.

MTW 2024 will feature a wide range of events, including keynote presentations, panel discussions, interactive workshops, startup expos, networking meetups, and more. The full agenda will be posted on our website.
