The most anticipated networking event on South Florida’s tech calendar is back. On Thursday, May 8, 2026, the 14th Annual Tech Hub Golf Invitational—themed this year as Ocho Cinco de Mayo—will bring together founders, engineers, executives, and ecosystem partners for a full day of golf, networking, and a shared mission: advancing the region’s technology community.
For more than a decade, this tournament has quietly become one of the highest-density rooms of decision-makers you’ll find in the Southeast tech corridor. No pitch decks. No panels. Just eighteen holes of conversation, a clubhouse lunch, and the kind of long-form relationship-building that rarely survives in a Zoom window.
Location & Venue
Plantation Preserve Golf Course & Club
7050 West Broward Blvd, Plantation, FL 33317
Why This Tournament Matters
Tech Hub South Florida is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade association representing the interests of the region’s technology industry. Every dollar generated by this tournament supports programming that directly serves more than 6,000 members across our Slack community, our workforce and talent initiatives, and our advocacy work at the local and state levels.
When you register a foursome or back the event as a sponsor, you’re not just buying a day of golf. You’re funding the connective tissue that makes South Florida a real competitor to Austin, Raleigh, and Atlanta.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Tech Hub Invitational different from other charity golf events?
It’s the density of the room. You aren’t just playing golf with “seat fillers.” In a typical foursome, you’ll find scaling SaaS founders, corporate IT leaders from Fortune 500 divisions, and active VC partners. The ratio of decision-makers to attendees is the highest in the region.
What happens if I don’t play golf?
The Lunch-Only ticket is designed specifically for you. The clubhouse reception is where the majority of post-round conversations happen—deals are scoped, hires are discussed, and partnerships are floated. It is the fastest way into the networking side of the day.
Is there a deadline for golfer registration?
Yes. The course requires a final count by Thursday, April 30, 2026. After that date, golfer slots will close regardless of availability shown on the public page.
What is the “Ocho Cinco de Mayo” theme?
It’s our 14th year, and since the event falls near May 5th, we’re celebrating with a tech-forward Cinco de Mayo twist. Expect high energy, on-course activations, and great food throughout the day.
