Since launching in 2011, Silicon Bayou News has been highlighting and supporting entrepreneurs and the creative communities throughout Louisiana. For the last five years we have hosted the Silicon Bayou Startup Showcase to give people a hands-on experience getting to know the companies and entrepreneurs that make the entrepreneurial ecosystem in New Orleans so great.
The 6th Silicon Bayou Startup Showcase will take place tonight (October 9) from 6:00-8:00 pm at The Shop at the CAC as part of NOLATech Week, the largest free technology conference in the south.
