Why do so many people say…
“I had no idea this was happening here”?
Because what’s shaping the Tri-Valley right now isn’t obvious until you’re in the room where it’s all happening.
For 9 years, this night has revealed what’s next in the Tri-Valley before most people notice it’s already happening.
Founders before breakout.
Companies before headlines.
Ideas before they’re obvious.
This is that night.
GameChangers Awards 2026 by Innovation Tri-Valley
May 21 | The Roundhouse at Bishop Ranch
(Only 300 spots available)
Each year, the companies and leaders recognized here are already reshaping the region. Past honorees include emerging and established innovators across tech, life sciences, clean energy, and advanced industry… many now far beyond where they started when first recognized here.
What becomes clear, year after year, is simple:
They are not recognized after they matter.
They are recognized while they are becoming hard to ignore.
Who It’s For
If you want to understand where the Tri-Valley is heading before it becomes obvious, this is where it shows up first.
Founders. Operators. Investors. Builders.
And people who want to hear about it before it happens.
Most people only realize what this was after the fact.
Past honorees:
10x Genomics, Lam Research, Gillig, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Dialpad, Tekion, Vector Atomic, LWX Wines and Vagaro

Still not sure?
Ask someone who came last year.
Better yet – ask someone who didn’t.
Because the most common text sent the morning after is: “Wish I’d known. Tell me when you get the deck.”
There is no deck.
There’s only the room.
See you in it.
