AZ Tech Week 2026: Key Takeaways for Startup Teams, Investors and Innovators S1 EP18
Description
In this episode of Bot Boundaries, co-hosts Jackie and Katie are fresh off Arizona Tech Week, the state’s first statewide, decentralized tech conference, and they’re sharing highlights from the panels they attended, the networking opportunities, and the very first in‑person Bot Boundaries event “Founders Essential Go‑to‑Market Playbook for the Age of AI Noise.” They also break down what AZ Tech Week actually is, how it came together, and what the experience was like from their perspective. And of course, they wrap things up with a fun round of “Things Too Honest for LinkedIn: Tech Conference Edition.”
