Attendees encouraged to “discover their role” in the Tucson community through ten days of exhibitions, talks, and interactive experiences from national experts and local heroes.
Startup Tucson’s TENWEST Impact Festival returns October 11-20, with ten days of exhibitions, talks, and interactive experiences from national experts and local heroes. The festival, along with its strategic partnerships with the University of Arizona and others, seeks to stimulate growth and talent retention in Tucson and Southern Arizona. Organizers project a staggering 10,000 attendees–double the number from last year’s event.
“Recent news and poll numbers have Tucsonans asking a lot of good questions about how we can attract and retain talent in Tucson,” said Liz Pocock, CEO of Startup Tucson. “With the support of over 65 local and regional partners, we’re seeking to address these challenges by expanding TENWEST into a catalyst for growth.”
