GET EXCITED: THE FIRST EVER AUSTIN TECH WEEK KICKS OFF OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 1!
Austin Tech Week is a five day celebration, uniting the brightest minds in Austin’s tech ecosystem. For over a decade, this annual event has drawn thousands of local entrepreneurs, tech leaders, and friends together to connect, learn, and maximize business impact.
Be part of this thrilling evolution from Austin Startup Week that echoes the extraordinary growth of startups since our inception in 2011. What began as a celebration of entrepreneurship has matured into a dynamic explosion of innovation, spotlighting the very companies that once ignited our startup community and have now become the luminaries of Austin’s tech landscape.
Come talk about your startup, ideas, challenges, experiences, etc. Get support, feedback and advice from experienced entrepreneurs. Also, every month we invite an Austin startup to share their experiences, challenges, failures, successes and learnings from their startup journey.
Behavioral Economics, Behavioral Design, Gamification, Psychology… We explore anything that allows us to make large-scale, positive impact on human behavior. We discuss the emerging efforts of many industries to help people improve their behavior through things like products, services, programs, policy or other experiences.
Building tools and experiences is not enough anymore. We need to take into account the quirky psychology of the human brain.
We cover both:
• Designing explicitly to improve human behaviors (exercise, diet, budgeting, volunteering)
• As well as improving overall engagement & outcomes for any product, service, or program, or policy.
We touch many different subjects: persuasive technology, choice architecture, emotional design, cognitive design, positive psychology, marketing, gameful design, game thinking, copywriting, funnel-optimization, social work, persuasive psychology, behaviorism, cognitive behavioral therapy and many other related topics.
Our methods include presentations, discussions, guest speakers, hack-a-thons, joint projects, and more.
Jump into virtual worlds to battle, strategize and create with your (new) friends at AVL!
