Innovate South brings together founders, tech pros, and innovators across the Gulf South for three days of energy, ideas, and action. Every moment is intentional — designed to spark collaboration, accelerate growth, and remind us that innovation isn’t defined by geography. It’s defined by people bold enough to build it. Innovation with an accent. Connection by design. Confidence that lasts.

Join us for insightful keynotes, thought-provoking panel discussions, intentional networking opportunities, and a pitch competition for emerging innovative startups!

Innovate South is powered by Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA), and organized by Opportunity Machine (OM).
