TENWEST 2026 brought the energy and the kind of moments that remind us why this community continues to grow year after year. Across a week of conversations and connections, creatives, founders, technologists, and community leaders came together to learn and explore what’s next.
Where Innovation Meets Opportunity
TENWEST thrives on transforming bold ideas into real impact. This year’s sessions lineup was full of immersive programming spanning entrepreneurship, CPG, technology, and creativity.
Attendees had the chance to learn from industry leaders, gain practical insights, and connect with others who are actively building and shaping the future.
A Keynote That Set the Tone
This year’s keynote from Jason Feifer challenged attendees to rethink failure, embrace change, and see uncertainty as a powerful advantage.
Drawing from his experience as Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine and a leading voice on innovation, Feifer delivered both inspiration and actionable insight. His message resonated deeply with founders and creatives alike: progress doesn’t come from getting it perfect the first time; it comes from adapting, iterating, and moving forward.
It was a reminder that the entrepreneurial journey is rarely linear, but with the right mindset and community, it’s always full of possibilities.
IdeaFunding 2026: From Pitch to Main Stage
One of the most exciting moments of the week came from IdeaFunding 2026, where early-stage founders took a leap and pitched their ventures, many not knowing just how big that leap would become.
After initial pitches earlier in the day, select founders were invited back to take the main stage, transforming a moment of possibility into a defining experience.
Six standout teams were recognized as awardees, with CarbeniumTec and Intelligent Clinical Systems taking home the grand prizes of $10,000 each to fuel their next stage of growth. The audience also had their say, awarding the People’s Choice to O2ART.
A Community That Shows Up
What makes TENWEST special isn’t just the programming; it’s always the people.
TENWEST 2026 reflected the strength and diversity of this ecosystem, one that thrives on collaboration, curiosity, and a shared drive to build something meaningful.
Looking Ahead
The ideas shared, the relationships built, and the momentum created during the week are only the beginning. We’re already looking ahead to what’s next, and we can’t wait to do it all again.
To our sponsors, partners, speakers, and attendees, thank you for making TENWEST 2026 what it was. Your energy and support are what bring this experience to life.
