TechChicago Week 2026 (TCW26)

About this event

TechChicago Week 2026 is a citywide technology week in Chicago, powered by P33, convening technologists, founders, researchers, policymakers, philanthropists, and civic leaders around the theme “Solving Grand Challenges.” The week emphasizes applying emerging technologies—such as quantum, AI, and advanced computing—to real-world problems across sectors including healthcare, finance, energy, climate, and food systems. The page highlights cross-collaboration as a core goal and positions Chicago as a hub where business, government, academia, and philanthropy intersect to drive impact. Attendees are encouraged to join events throughout the week (with individual event registration handled separately), and partners can apply to host events during the week when submissions open in 2026.
