About:

NY Tech Week is the largest decentralized tech gathering in the United States, presented by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Across June 1-7, 2026, the week features more than 1,000 individual events hosted by startups, venture firms, and operators across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and surrounding NYC neighborhoods.

The format is intentional: rather than a single conference with one venue, Tech Week functions as a distributed festival of pitch competitions, hackathons, panels, dinners, and curated mixers. Sponsors and hosts include a16z, OpenAI, Stripe, NVIDIA, J.P. Morgan, Bessemer Venture Partners, Cooley, IBM, and dozens of NYC-rooted founders and venture investors. Healthcare, life sciences, AI, fintech, consumer, and emerging-tech tracks run throughout the week.

For a healthcare and life sciences leaders based in or visiting New York, Tech Week is a strategic anchor — a chance to engage with the broader tech and venture ecosystem at a moment when capital flows and category lines are reshaping.
