The SDTW district runs on satellite events — founder dinners, fund breakfasts, prime-hosted labs tours, and late-night operator meetups. If you're putting something on the calendar in Long Beach that week, bring it under the SDTW banner.
We accept hosts from across the ecosystem — deep-tech funds, prime contractors, federal programs, accelerators, university labs, media outlets, and operator collectives. Solo founders welcome if the event is well-scoped.
We prioritize hosts with a specific thesis, a curated invite list, and a venue secured.
Half-day or evening program with a stated thesis. Audience 50–300. Recommended if you have speakers to anchor and a defined topic.
Small-table, Chatham House, 20–40 seats. No press. We'll help with curation if you bring the thesis and the venue.
Private access to a manufacturing floor, lab, or prime facility in the Long Beach / SoCal corridor. Capped by venue capacity.
Send a one-pager to partnerships@socaldeeptech.com. Rolling review through August 1, 2026 — earlier submissions get prime calendar slots.
