San Diego, CA (PinionNewswire) — TechCon Global today announced two major new initiatives—the Give-Back Pavilion and the International Pavilion—set to debut across its 2026 conference series, including TechCon SouthWest (Austin) and TechCon SoCal (San Diego) These pavilions expand TechCon Global’s mission to democratize access to innovation, support emerging founders, and cultivate a more inclusive global entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Championing Impact Through the Give-Back Pavilion
The Give-Back Pavilion will feature nonprofit organizations working in education, STEM, entrepreneurship, workforce development, community empowerment, women in tech, and leadership advancement. Selected nonprofits will receive:
• A complimentary exhibit booth
• Two free conference passes
• Visibility to investors, CXOs, university partners, and successful founders
• Opportunities to secure funding, volunteers, and board members
“Supporting the next generation of innovators requires investing in the organizations building the foundation for their success,” said Faisal Mushtaq, Founder & CEO of TechCon Global. “The Give-Back Pavilion allows us to shine a spotlight on mission-driven groups that strengthen our communities and expand access to tech pathways.”
Nonprofits are invited to apply for a limited number of available spaces.
Expanding Global Innovation with the International Pavilion
TechCon Global also announced the International Pavilion, an initiative designed to welcome promising startups from around the world. International companies selected for the pavilion will receive:
• Significantly discounted exhibit booth pricing
