THE TECH CRAWL IS BACK!

On October 21st we brought back the Vancouver Tech Crawl.

The last crawl was 2018. Then COVID shut it down, and most people figured downtown’s tech night was gone for good.

But in 2026 we brought it back!

Everyone said Yes.

You said yes before there was anything to point to. No tickets sold. No photos from last year. Just an idea that SW Washington’s tech companies belong on Main Street, not hidden in office parks off the freeway.

You got it right away. A town only knows its tech companies if it can meet them. And the people who will build the next company here need to see the ones already doing it.

So you put money on the table and people behind it. You sent engineers and founders downtown after a full workday. You packed up wafers, scanners and demos, carried them into a pub, and explained what you build to anyone who walked up.

You didn’t do it to hire anyone or close a deal that night. You did it because Vancouver should know what’s being made here.

That’s why the crawl came back.

HOW IT WORKED

THREE HOURS. ONE MAP. YOUR OWN ROUTE.

KICKOFF AT DIGS

Check in. Grab a map. Pick a direction.

WALK THE COUVE

Pick your stops in any order. Every table had a company, and every company had a story.

FINISH AT LOYAL LEGION

The crawl ended. The conversations didn't. Everyone landed on one patio to keep going.

LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE IS COMING!

The next crawl is September 2027. Between now and then, we run events all year for SW Washington's founders, techies and the people who back them. Sign up and you'll hear first when crawl tickets open, which companies are coming, and what else is on the North Bank calendar.
