Events
Tech in the Tenderloin partners with local organizations, businesses and institutions to produce public community events that increase exposure and access to emerging tech in low-opportunity neighborhoods. Our signature event is our annual TNT Tech Festival.
What's a Tech Festival?
Well imagine, the coolest tech companies exhibiting their latest augmented reality, virtual reality, robotics and other tech experiences. Now add in amazing tech non-profits and social enterprises that can connect you with cool activities and programs. Then sandwich in a bounce house, carnival games, face painting and balloon animals along with yummy carnival food. Can you see it? That's it!
