SOCIAL EVENTS and FAIRS

San Diego Startup Week social events allow attendees multiple opportunities to meet the people who make up the San Diego startup ecosystem. Each year the networking that happens at these events leads to business opportunities, new jobs, great friendships, and at least one occurrence of a relationship that has led to marriage! Come embrace the community!

The Downtown Startup Uncrawl*

New for San Diego Startup Week 2019 is The Downtown Startup Uncrawl. Instead of meeting up at a given time and being assigned a Crawl Track where you go to 3 undisclosed locations, you get to build your own crawl! All Uncrawl locations will be revealed and you choose which to visit. Each location will show off their space, demo their products/services, and treat you to food and drink.
