Wonder Tech Fest 2025: The Festival of Innovation, Culture & Community

Wonder Tech Fest 2025: The Festival of Innovation, Culture & Community

November 4–6, 2025 | Downtown Long Beach, CA + Virtual Experience


Join us as we celebrate 10 years of Wonder Women Tech with a reimagined Wonder Tech Fest experience — an intimate, community-rooted festival that blends innovation, creativity, and belonging.


After an incredible decade of producing global conferences and festivals, Wonder Tech Fest 2025 has transformed into a walkable, immersive experience across two stunning downtown Long Beach venues — both within the same block and just steps from our hotel sponsor and the Long Beach Convention Center!


This year’s festival is a celebration of adaptability, resilience, and connection — proving that even in uncertain times, innovation always finds a way to shine.


Our New Festival Venues

STUDIO ONE ELEVEN — Amplify Stage & Registration Hub
245 East Third Street, Long Beach, CA 90802

Your first stop! Check in here for registration, badges, and enjoy our Amplify Stage sessions, networking lounges, and the VIP Pancake Bar, featuring snacks, coffee, and community connection.


AT THE TOP — Main Stage & Startup World Cup Pitch Competition

105 W Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90802
A breathtaking top-floor venue with panoramic views of downtown — recently used by Google and Facebook for private events. Here you’ll experience Main Stage keynotes, the Startup World Cup Pitch Competition, performances, and featured sessions.


And when it’s time to celebrate, we’ll close the festival with our Official After-Party at Secret Island, the tiki speakeasy located right downstairs! Both venues are just minutes apart — and within eyesight of the Convention Center — creating a festival-style atmosphere where you can walk, connect, and explore with ease.


Extended Virtual Festival Experience

For our global community and those joining from home, we’ve expanded our virtual Wonder Tech Fest to keep the experience alive beyond the event!


 Stream select sessions online through December 31, 2025
 Explore on-demand talks, workshops, and speaker interviews
 Visit virtual exhibitor booths inside our Wonder Women Tech community, now home to over 3,000 registered members, open year-round for ongoing connection and inspiration.
