2026 Programming Tracks

This year, we are curating deep-dive content across three critical pillars driving our economy:

🏢 Enterprise Technology. How Ohio’s biggest brands are leading in innovation. Discover how established enterprises are leveraging areas such as AI, data analytics, and cloud infrastructure to drive digital transformation. Hear from CIOs and CTOs on navigating emerging technologies and integrating deep tech into legacy systems.

🚀 Startups & Venture. Zero to one. Built in Ohio. A dedicated focus on high-growth entrepreneurship. We explore the cultures that scale fast, the state of startups in the Silicon Heartland, and the founder journey. This track features the OhioX Startup Showcase, highlighting some of our state's most innovative new companies.

🧑‍💻 Talent & Workforce. Technology is nothing without the people behind it. This track brings together tech leaders, educators, and policymakers to discuss upskilling, culture building, and the strategies needed to attract, retain, and develop top-tier tech talent in Ohio.
