Week-long Schedule
📅 March 9-14, 2026 📍New Orleans, LA
New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW) returns as a weeklong, citywide series of events spotlighting entrepreneurship, innovation, and opportunity across the region.
From campus-based competitions and industry-focused forums to networking gatherings and capital access events, NOEW brings together founders, students, investors, business leaders, and ecosystem partners for six days of programming designed to connect ideas, resources, and people at every stage of the entrepreneurial journey.
The NOEW Summit (March 12-13) is the flagship gathering of New Orleans Entrepreneur Week and a two-day experience hosted at Loyola University New Orleans for the second consecutive year. The Summit brings together founders, business leaders, creatives, and community builders for candid conversations, hands-on sessions, and real-world insight rooted in the Gulf South.
While NOEW unfolds across the city throughout the week, The Summit is where ideas turn into action and connections deepen. Join us on campus for two days of founder stories, interactive programming, and the conversations shaping what’s next for New Orleans’ business community.
