  Innovation Technology Entrepreneurship Network
The ITEN WIRED Summit was founded in 2008 by the greater Pensacola, Florida area
Chamber of Commerce and has fast grown from a local networking event to attracting
hundreds of attendees from along the I-10 corridor and around the United States who
want to connect over innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship.
This annual event is hosted by IT Gulf Coast in
partnership with FloridaWest EDA to highlight the
region's growing and diverse tech industry and
economic development efforts as well as its
connections to other regions across the country. ITEN
WIRED provides networking and learning opportunities
for executives, technology professionals, entrepreneurs
and academia to exchange information and resources
and to foster collaborative initiatives.
Proceeds from the conference are used by IT Gulf Coast for reinvestment in local STEM
outreach, including an endowment with the University of West Florida’s Hal Marcus
College of Science and Engineering, supporting the National Flight Academy at NAS
Pensacola, an endowment at Pensacola State College initiated in late 2021, and more!
