This week from June 20 through June 26, technology entrepreneurs can participate in the week-long festival Techweek. The event was founded five years ago in Chicago to showcase the talent available in the Chicagoland area.

The original focus was to be in markets that have an opportunity to spread technology entrepreneurship. Since the inception of the Chicago chapter, Techweek is transitioning to a Benefit Corporation. “Transitioning to a Benefit Corporation creates the fiduciary framework to enable mission-driven companies like Techweek to meet higher standards for community engagement, technical performance, accountability and transparency,” said Amanda Signorelli, new CEO of Techweek. For 2016, Techweek will add Dallas and Toronto as locations for their events.

Go to the event this week where you can be part of the Fest, Entrepreneur Expo, Summit, Founder’s House, Launch and Awards events.  The fest is all the events that serve the tech and entrepreneur community. You can visit a hall of companies at the Entrepreneur Expo geared specifically to startups and entrepreneurs. At the Summit, listen to the many speakers who discuss latest trends and topics. If competition is your thing, go to Launch where you’ll get to view the startup competition. You’ll need an invite to attend the Founder’s House VIP event. And the Awards ceremony will recognize both companies and individuals for their commitment in the technology sector.

If you can’t make it this week here in Chicago, there are still events scheduled for the remainder of the year in Toronto, Kansas City, New York, Dallas, Miami and Los Angeles.
