What we are building
2027 is the first year LTW stands on its own. We take the weekend before NY Tech Week as our flagship, then we run the satellite layer through the week with our partners.
Fri Jun 4 → Sun Jun 6
Ours. Owned, centralized, ticketed. Four events, not fourteen. Opening mixer Friday, daytime programming Saturday, and the Best Awards Sunday night. Nobody else programs a June weekend, so the attention is undivided.
Mon Jun 7 → Fri Jun 11
Distributed and partner-hosted. Target of 12 to 15 signature events across AI, fintech, capital access, Latina Power, next gen and cross-border. This is the layer you can co-host with us.
Dates track NY Tech Week and are confirmed once a16z publishes the 2027 window.
June 4 – 11, 2027
One week, one city, one platform underneath everything: a weekend we own, five country days across Manhattan and Brooklyn, and one app where every room, every attendee and every introduction lives. This is the map of what a brand can own.
Monday to Friday, one country and one theme per day.

How we program
What they leave with: Wanting to do something
What they leave with: Someone's number
What they leave with: Recognition
What they leave with: A door opened to capital
What they leave with: Something they made
What they leave with: A country in the room
Every event carries exactly one primary outcome, so you always know what the room is for before you attach your brand to it.
From pitch rooms to the Founder Speakeasy — how the tags look in practice
Twelve months, not one night
The program that keeps 100 honoree founders engaged from February to June — and puts your brand in every one of those conversations.
Five cohorts, 15 to 20 founders each, monthly.
350 curated conversations, booked in the app.
Deck teardowns, data rooms, structuring.
Ten LatAm honorees flown in. Half the class is outside the US.
3
guaranteed investor conversations per honoree
70 Best Investors, 350 curated conversations, 100 founders — every honoree leaves the program with investor time on the calendar.
It opens in February, so a sponsorship here starts working four months before the week.

190 honorees. 170 unique people. Best is a property of Latino Tech Week, not a separate thing.
Sponsors attached to Best get twelve months of association, not one night — from applications in February to the live reveals on stage in June.
Best starts in January, not September
The franchise runs on public dates, so a sponsor knows exactly when their brand shows up and how long the association lasts.
Each reveal is its own press and social moment. Sponsors of Best appear in all of them, not only during the week.
Positions close by category
Week-wide partners are confirmed first, then Title and Presenting positions. The earlier the call, the more of the week is still open to you.
