Where Innovation Meets Louisiana Culture
At each tailgate, guests connect with tech founders, industry leaders, higher education partners, and students who represent the emerging talent shaping what is next for Louisiana. These informal moments spark meaningful conversations, new partnerships, and pathways into the tech ecosystem for people who may not otherwise see themselves in it.
Building Community at Scale
Tech Tailgates serve as an on-ramp into Louisiana’s innovation ecosystem. By meeting people where culture already thrives, we expand who sees themselves as part of the tech community.
