300+ professionals growing local ecosystems in 30+ states
The Technical.ly Builders Conference is an annual two-day conference focused on storytelling for entrepreneurs, place-based marketers, and ecosystem builders.
Hosted by the country’s leading ecosystem storytelling news organization, Builders brings together entrepreneurs, ecosystem builders, and those that support local entrepreneurial and tech-led economic and workforce development strategies.
Our tracks include Founder Fishbowls, in which early-stage entrepreneurs exchange best practices; workshops on tools (yes, including AI) that aid storytelling; and sessions on storytelling strategies that support entrepreneurship, workforce, and other elements of local economic mobility, growth, and opportunity.
Year-round, Technical.ly CEO and founder Chris Wink shares a weekly Builders newsletter and regular Linkedin Live series on these same topics. Entrepreneurship and technology-led economic development are changing, and the Technical.ly Builders Conference is a destination to understand and exchange how, with others who are doing the work.
