About Austin · October 2026

Late October in Austin is Tech Week, and most of the useful founder events cluster around it. Austin Tech Week runs five free days from Oct 26 at Station Austin, and Entre's Founder and VC Brunch on Oct 28 is the side event to book for investor access. The Grok Bot Hackathon on Oct 19 is the builder pick before it, and MLOps World on Nov 17 at UT's Alumni Center brings 700+ AI engineers together around agentic AI in production.
