Every entrepreneurship, startup, and small business event happening across the state — pitch competitions, networking nights, AI meetups, accelerator demo days, and workshops — collected in one place. A free public resource from the team at Unlock Alabama.
Heads up — we use AI to scan public calendars and pull these events together, starting from the org directory built by Innovation Map. Refreshed roughly once a month. Spotted something off? Email info@unlockalabama.org.

This calendar is a lead magnet for the people we really want to meet — Alabama's next generation of builders and the experienced operators who want to mentor them. Pick your lane.
Starting May 2026, we run an intense, structured 8-week cohort where participants commit to shipping something real and public. App, prototype, automation, product concept, new business — we'll guide you through the whole process. From start to finish. All for free.
We believe in the power of mentorship and are actively recruiting guides for our summer cohort. We welcome a broad range of expertise and time commitments are flexible to your schedule. Apply below — we'd love to talk with you.
Unlock Alabama is a non-profit. If you like what we're doing and want to help fund Alabama's next cohort of builders and the public events resource you're using right now, we'd love to talk.
