PHX Startup Week, the largest entrepreneurial event in the Valley of the Sun, is focused on bringing together the local startup community for a week of education, connection and support. This community-organized event is focused on bringing together diverse voices from all corners of the Phoenix metro area to work collaboratively in an effort to cultivate and grow the already thriving local startup community.
“Last year, over 2,000 people came together to celebrate our thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, learn from each other’s successes and failures and build a culture of innovation,” said Kate Rogers, PHX Startup Week’s co-lead. “Our theme for 2020, ConnectPHX, reflects our goal to connect entrepreneurs to available resources, their community and each other, as we work together to build an ecosystem that thrives. We are proud to highlight this lineup of keynote speakers and are confident they will motivate our attendees and arm them with new information, ready to tackle their next big challenge.”
