WHAT IS TECHTOBER IN?

A statewide tech celebration.

TechTober IN celebrates Indiana’s thriving tech community, bringing together the organizations, startups and people making an impact on our industry. For six weeks this fall, all of it is in one place — summits, demo nights, hackathons and happy hours, most of them free, and everyone is welcome.

It runs from September 28 to November 7, 2026, across Indiana.

QUESTIONS

Who is behind it?

TechTober IN is convened by Connect317 and built with the organizations taking part. No single company or investor sets the programme — every organization runs its own events exactly as it always has.

What does it cost to take part?

Nothing. Listing an organization is free, submitting events is free, and most of the events themselves are free to attend.

How does the passport work?

It is a free stamp card that lives on your phone. Check in at an event with the code shown there and it stamps. Five stamps across five different organizations fills it — the same organization twice does not count.

Can my group join after it starts?

Yes. Events can be added right through to November 7. The one hard deadline is October 31, for logos going on the back of the Indiana Tech T-shirt.
