10 REASONS TO TENWEST

Ever leave an event thinking, “I met my people”? Yeah, that’s TENWEST!

We’re giving you 10 reasons why you shouldn't miss this year's fest:

1. You’ll have space to ask real questions

This isn’t “sit back and take notes” learning. TENWEST is built for lifelong learners who want frameworks, clarity, and room to dig deeper.

2. We talk about tech, but we’re not a tech conference

Innovation is bigger than buzzwords. We focus on how technology, creativity, and community actually show up in the real world.

3. We’re here to connect, not command

No talking at you. TENWEST is about conversations, collisions, and connections that keep going long after the session ends.

4. Jason Feifer is our keynote

Yes, that Jason Feifer—Editor in Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine and professional dot-connector.

5. Tucson is the destination

No overwhelming mega-city energy here. TENWEST happens in a walkable, creative, sun-soaked city that invites you to slow down and plug in.

6. Built for creators and founders, by creators and founders

Everything in the program is rooted in lived experience, not theory. There's no sales pitches or pyramid-looking presentations here.

7. Culinary innovation is on the menu

Food is culture and creativity, and we're leaning all the way in with our new summit geared toward the business of food. 

8. You can level up with certifications

Leave with more than inspiration. Gain credentials at our new TENWEST EDU on Tuesday that help you grow and adapt.

9. Perfect for second-chance (or third-act) entrepreneurs

Whether you’re rebooting, pivoting, or finally starting, TENWEST meets you where you are.

10. You’ll join the largest entrepreneurial community in the region

This is where ideas meet people and momentum begins. (And we're also a lot of fun!)

And the best part?

You don’t just take what you learn home. You help your own community connect the dots, too.
