a2Tech360
Ann Arbor SPARK’s a2Tech360 is a week of events celebrating Ann Arbor’s spirit of innovation through experiences, conversations, and connections that strengthen and expand the region’s vibrant ecosystem. The events are tailored to a variety of interests and audiences, including entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, businesses, academic institutions, non-profits, job seekers, and the general public. The week presents Ann Arbor SPARK’s largest events: A2 Tech Trek and Mobility Row, Tech Talk, and FastTrack Awards. Premier sponsorships are available for this week-long program with sponsors receiving visibility across all events, providing the most exposure to a broad audience.
- FastTrack Awards
An evening dedicated to celebrating the fast growth of Washtenaw and Livingston county businesses, this event is affectionately referred to as nerd prom. FastTrack kicks off the a2TECH360 week with a gala-style celebration.
- Tech Talk
On the morning of Tech Trek, area business leaders and visionaries take the stage for this TED Talk-style event. Join as a presenting sponsor to secure your time in the spotlight.
- A2 Tech Trek & Mobility Row
Possibly the most well-known SPARK event, this showcase of Ann Arbor’s downtown tech culture is a huge hit among job seekers and area residents. With attendees from 30 states and social media posts trending at a national level, sponsors of Tech Trek and Mobility Row have the opportunity to align themselves with one of the fastest-growing events in the region.
Tech Homecoming
Tech Homecoming is an annual event that is strategically held in late November to allow those who have relocated outside of Ann Arbor the opportunity to experience first-hand the exciting tech corridor that’s developed in the region. This is an ideal event for those companies who are actively recruiting.
