The energy of Innovate South doesn’t stop when the pitch competition ends. Immediately following the Tech Tank winners' announcement, join us for the final event of the conference: our closing Networking Happy Hour.

This is your opportunity to step away from the stage and into the conversation. Whether you’re looking to meet the founders you just saw on stage, connect one-on-one with our Innovate South speakers, or simply celebrate the close of Innovate South 2026 with your fellow attendees, this is where the connections happen.

Let’s toast to the next generation of Louisiana innovation and cap off three days of growth and community!
