2026 Gateway Happy Hour

Kick off SXSW with the Austin Technology Council’s annual GATEWAY HAPPY HOUR – Monday, March 9th. 5:30 – 7:30. Woody’s Bar. For over 20 years the Austin Technology Council has hosted a party for our local tech community in the days before the world comes to Austin for SXSW. This is a “Good Old Fashioned High Tech Happy Hour”…. the kind that got everything started in Austin in the 1990s.

While out of town techies are always welcome, this party is purposely held before the crowds arrive to bring the focus on people who come from all areas of our tech ecosystem.This year we will also have the CEO’s of about 20 other Technology Councils, as the Technology Council’s of North America organization is having their annual CEO Summit in Austin March 9-11. Thus we have invited them all to come see Austin Tech in our natural environment.
