October 2026 creates an unusual opportunity.
Three major technology ecosystems are active across three consecutive weeks.
**San Francisco Tech Week: October 5–11**
**TOKEN2049 Week Singapore: October 5–11**
**LA Tech Week: October 12–18**.
For BNC, that's more interesting than three separate conferences.
It's an opportunity to map the people connecting them.
San Francisco
SF Tech Week brings together founders, investors, AI companies, operators and communities across a huge programme of events.
The official calendar already includes founder lunches, investor breakfasts, dinners, matchmaking and community events.
We're looking for the people who make those rooms happen.
Singapore
TOKEN2049 is different in scale.
The main event expects more than 25,000 attendees from 160+ countries, while the wider TOKEN2049 Week programme includes more than 1,000 side events.
That makes the connector layer particularly important.
The people organising founder dinners.
The people running communities.
The people connecting Asia with the US and Europe.
The people moving between crypto, fintech, AI and traditional finance.
Los Angeles
LA Tech Week brings another mix.
Founders.
Investors.
AI.
Consumer technology.
Creators.
Entertainment.
Operators.
The official schedule includes founder lunches, startup culture events, investor dinners and founder gatherings.
Again, we're interested in the people behind the rooms.
Why BNC is interested in connectors
There are two ways to think about a network.
The first is a database.
Names.
Email addresses.
LinkedIn profiles.
Followers.
The second is a living system.
People know people.
Introductions happen.
Information travels.
Opportunities move.
The second is what BNC is trying to build.
That's why our research isn't simply asking:
> Who is attending?
We're asking:
> **Who connects the people who are attending?**
The BNC Tech Week Network
Over the coming weeks, we're going to identify those people across all three ecosystems.
Community builders.
Event hosts.
Founders.
Investors.
Operators.
Organisers.
People who quietly connect everyone else.
Some will be well known.
Many won't be.
That's fine.
The person with 5,000 followers who can introduce you to the right founder may be more useful than the person with 500,000 followers who has never heard of you.
This isn't about fame.
It's about relationships.
Three cities. One idea.
The geography changes.
The technology changes.
The industries change.
The underlying need doesn't.
People building businesses need other people.
People who can answer the question they've been stuck on.
People who have already made the mistake.
People who know the customer.
People who know the investor.
People who know the partner.
People who can make the introduction.
People who understand what they're building.
That's the network.
And that's what BNC is building.
**The global network where the people move forward faster.**
