We mean what we say, and we prove it by doing. Building on the success of Desert Dev Lab–New Mexico’s largest hackathon—New Mexico Tech Week connects local founders, students, job seekers, creators, and investors across the state and beyond. We’re putting New Mexico on the map!

Every NM Tech Talk event is free and open to the public to help grow our local tech community. Free, public access grows tech literacy and makes our pipeline stronger.
