Technical.ly Builders Conference 2025

The Technical.ly Builders Conference is an annual two-day conference focused on local ecosystem building and the storytelling that supports it.

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; lightning talks highlighting entrepreneurial ecosystems and workshops; 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 is changing, and the Technical.ly Builders Conference is a destination to understand and exchange how, with others who are doing the work.
