# Sunday events at SF Tech Week 2026

> SF Tech Week 2026 has 38 events on Sunday, Oct 11, and only 5 of them run in the evening, so Sunday plans are mostly daytime plans.

Chancity tracks 1,832 SF Tech Week events (updated Sep 30, 2026); this page lists 38. Sources: the official Tech Week calendar (https://www.tech-week.com/calendar/sf) and each event's own page.

- Easier door: 31 of 38 need host approval, a smaller share than the week overall.
