Alabama
Builds.
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.

Tell us about it.
If we missed an event — or got something wrong — send us the details and we'll review and add it on our next monthly refresh. We use AI to gather these from public listings, so a real human eye on the gaps makes the whole resource better for Alabama.

Don't just
attend. Build.
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.
Want to be a Builder?
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.
Want to be a Guide?
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.
Power what comes next.
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.
