Black Tech Week returns to the heart of downtown Cincinnati for year five.

For three days, founders, creatives, investors, technologists, and builders from across the country take over the city for conversations, connections, and experiences that continue far beyond the stage.

Most of BTW happens just steps from Over-the-Rhine (OTR), one of Cincinnati’s most vibrant neighborhoods filled with coffee shops, rooftop bars, restaurants, nightlife, creative spaces, and some of the best food in the Midwest.

Cincinnati is home to major companies, a growing startup ecosystem, and a community that genuinely shows up for entrepreneurs. It’s a city built for connection, collaboration, and real opportunities.

We’ve also secured exclusive hotel blocks for BTW attendees so you can stay close to the energy and experience the city alongside the community.
