September TENWEST Connects at The Broadway

TENWEST Connects is here—and it’s more than just a new name. It’s a level-up.

Formerly known as Startup Drinks, this reimagined gathering brings TENWEST energy to Tucson all year long. With high-quality venues, local founder spotlights, and curated programming, TENWEST Connects is designed for founders, mentors, and ecosystem allies who want more than just a drink—they want meaningful connection.

Join us on Thursday, September 18 from 5:30–7:30pm at The Broadway for the first TENWEST Connects of the season! Mingle with fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, and community champions. Hear from a local founder as we bring TENWEST’s popular Made in Arizona series to you year-round. Plus, get a sneak preview of what’s coming to TENWEST 2026.

Whether you’re brand-new to the scene or a longtime ecosystem builder, this is your place to plug in, share ideas, and strengthen the connections that help Tucson thrive.

Drinks available for purchase. Casual vibes, high-impact connections.

✨ TENWEST Connects is launching with a free celebration!

As we kick off this exciting new chapter, this first event is on us. Starting in November, we’ll introduce a small $10 registration fee to help sustain and grow the quality of these gatherings.
