View the full Launch Dayton Startup Week lineup and build your own personalized agenda
Launch Dayton Startup Week is the Dayton, Ohio entrepreneur community’s largest event, drawing roughly 1K attendees annually to celebrate, inspire and equip the Dayton region’s startup founders & business owners.
This free conference brings together the region’s thinkers, dreamers, doers, makers, entrepreneurs and small business owners.
This year, we’re proud to announce Fifth Third Bank as our presenting sponsor.
The 2022 conference is fully back in-person, Sept. 13-15 at the Dayton Arcade and The Hub Powered by PNC. Park at the Reibold Garage on Fifth Street, or park at meters available around the building, and enter the conference through the Arcade Rotunda entrance at 35 W. Fourth St.
All experiences are welcome — whether a seasoned entrepreneur or new to the community, there is space to jump in.
Our goal is that you can find talks and workshops that interests you every day of the conference, no matter your industry or stage of business.
Additionally, the organizing team is committed to hosting a conference that is representative of the community we serve. Last year, main stage speakers were 50 percent women and 50 percent people of color. This year, we are working to meet those ratios across all conference stages.
Once you register, you’ll get an invite to build your own personalized conference agenda!
