How It Works
Deep Tech Week is a decentralized conference series. Anyone can organize their own event and be part of the global deep tech movement.
A Decentralized Conference
Community-Powered
Deep Tech Week isn't one event - it's hundreds of events organized by community members. VCs host dinners, founders run demos, researchers give talks, and everyone contributes.
Own Your Event
Each host manages their own Luma page and controls their guest list. You decide the format, venue, capacity, and who gets in. We provide the platform and audience.
Unified Calendar
All events appear on the Deep Tech Week calendar, giving attendees a single place to discover everything happening during the week.
Better Than a Normal Tech Week
We combine the openness of a decentralized tech week with the premium features usually locked behind expensive conference tickets.
Open & Decentralized
Like traditional tech weeks, anyone can host an event and anyone can attend. No gatekeepers, no $2,000 tickets, no exclusive invite lists.
- ✓ Community-organized events
- ✓ Free or low-cost attendance
- ✓ Hosts control their own events
Premium Conference Features
But unlike a normal tech week, we add the tools and services you'd expect from a $5,000 closed conference - for free.
- ✓ AI-powered event recommendations
- ✓ Attendee matchmaking & intros
- ✓ Host analytics & audience insights
Personalized Recommendations
Tell us your interests and we'll recommend which events to attend from 100+ options. No more FOMO, no more guessing.
Host Analytics
Hosts get deep insights into their audience - job titles, companies, interests - to better segment and attract the right crowd.
Smart Matchmaking
Connect founders with investors, researchers with industry, and builders with collaborators - the services that make closed conferences valuable.
Creating Events Through the Portal
Events must be created through the Deep Tech Week portal to be listed on the calendar. Due to Luma restrictions, you cannot add an existing event to our calendar after creation.
Attendee Analytics
Track who's attending your events, see attendee profiles, and understand your audience. Get insights you can't get from Luma alone.
Cross-Event Visibility
See which attendees are going to other events during the week. Understand the flow of the audience across the conference.
Matchmaking
Our platform helps connect founders with investors, helps attendees find relevant events, and facilitates introductions across the week.

Being part of Deep Tech Week means access to a curated community of 20,000+ founders, investors, engineers, and researchers.

Common Questions
Is Deep Tech Week one event or many events?
Deep Tech Week is a decentralized conference series. During the week, community members host 100+ events ranging from small dinners to large keynotes. You choose which events to attend based on your interests.
Why can't I submit an existing Luma event?
Due to Luma's API restrictions, events must be created through our portal to be added to the Deep Tech Week calendar. This also ensures we can provide attendee analytics and cross-event insights to hosts.
Do I need an account to attend events?
No! You can register for events directly through Luma without a Deep Tech Week account. However, creating a profile unlocks personalized recommendations, matchmaking, and other benefits.
Can I host my own event?
