Suggest YOUR favorite speaker or topic for Startup Week!

January 8, 2019

Is there a topic you’ve always wanted to delve into, or a peer or mentor you’ve always wanted to hear speak?

Nominate them for this year’s Techstars Startup Week Dayton!

The fourth annual Dayton Startup Week will run June 3-7, and we want to know which topics and speakers you want to hear.

Startup Week brings together the thinkers, dreamers, doers, makers, entrepreneurs around cups of coffee, pints of beer, and small stages spaced throughout local establishments. All experiences are welcome — whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or new to the community, there is space for you to jump in.

In past years, we’ve heard from tech companies to marketing experts, venture capitalists to local coffee roasters.

This year, we’re planning sessions on business elements like marketing, sales, capital, and branding, as well as targeted sessions for medtech, defense, food, and artist entrepreneurs.

We want to make sure the sessions are impactful and actionable — so let us know what you want at this year’s Dayton Startup Week.

Basecamp will once again be at the Steam Plant, located at 617 E. 3rd St. in downtown Dayton.

The former Dayton Power & Light steam generation facility opened in the early 20th century and operated until the mid-1980s. Its new owners have tapped that historic appeal and renovated the building into a full-service event space which first served as Dayton Startup Week base camp in 2018.

Connect and collaborate during this week of diverse speakers and workshops. Nominate a speaker or topic you want to discuss here!
