Held at Innovation Depot in Birmingham, Tech or Treat is an annual Halloween celebration put on by the Depot and its member companies. The event was started by Innovation Depot in 2021 as a way to connect with the community and showcase the work of the 128 companies that call the Depot home.

“At Innovation Depot, we’re all about coming together as a community. ‘Tech Or Treat’ is where our startups, local businesses, and families join forces for an unforgettable Halloween experience!”

To celebrate Halloween, Innovation Depot and its member companies have spent the past weeks dressing up the Depot in all sorts of spooky decor.

 “From the awesome door decorations to the epic costumes, the startups help transform this building into a spooky wonderland. It’s a day when kids get to see where their parents work, and everyone comes together for pure Halloween fun!”

Ritchie Kruunenberg, Director of Marketing & Operations, Innovation Depot

For kids, one of the best parts of Halloween is dumping all the candy to see how many of your favorite candies you collected (mine were always Reese’s).

At Tech or Treat, kids will be thrilled to trick-or-treat down the halls of Innovation Depot and get candy from members of participating companies!

The fun isn’t just for kids. Both kids and adults are invited to dress up in their Halloween best to participate in the Tech or Treat Costume Contest.

Winners of the costume contest will be awarded gift cards to Crestline Bagel and Tasty Town (for adults) and gift bags filled with toys, candy, and other fun Halloween goodies (for kids).

Oh, and did we mentioned that the event will be catered by Pihakis Restaurant Group and Crestline Bagel?
