Innov865 Week is an annual celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship and community in Knoxville. As the first Maker City in America, we know something about innovation.
Visit Knoxville is proud to be the Culture Track sponsor for Innov865 Week 2023 this year! In preparation for the week-long celebration, we’ve teamed up with the Innov865 Alliance to show you around Knoxville – digitally!
Grab your phone and explore all the city has to offer! And don’t miss out on all of the networking opportunities, pitch events and more happening from September 8-15 (plus a couple of bonus events on September 16)!

Download the Insta Knox Digital Passport and wander through the city, checking out the best views, art and selfie spots Knoxville has to offer! Follow along on your phone and share them here for your own memories and prizes as you explore.
After you’ve made connections at one of the many networking events during the week, enjoy a pint on Knoxville’s Digital Ale Trail. Knoxville has no shortage of hoppy breweries to choose from! We’ve got relaxed breweries with sofas, breweries with boardgames, breweries with patios to enjoy with your dog, breweries with live music ... we just have a lot of breweries. The digital passport helps you try them all and win some prizes while you’re at it!
