IDEA Week
Innovation. Discovery.
Expression. Art.
San Diego • October 19 to 23, 2026
IDEA Week San Diego is a new weeklong celebration of the people, companies, creators, researchers, artists, and organizations shaping what’s next for our region.
A WEEK BUILT AROUND WHAT SAN DIEGO DOES BEST.
IDEA stands for Innovation, Discovery, Expression, and Art. From October 19 to 23, Connect will convene partners across San Diego to host events, activations, showcases, conversations, performances, and experiences that celebrate the intersection of technology, science, entrepreneurship, creativity, and culture.
IDEA Week is not one event in one room. It is a shared platform for the region, bringing together the people and ideas that are moving San Diego forward. The goal is simple: create something bigger than any one organization could build alone.
Organizations like these step up as community champions, providing the direct support that helps IDEA Week reach further and do more for San Diego every year.
