Venable partner Kaitlin Kines is honored to serve as a judge at Octane's 2026 High Tech Innovation Awards (HTA) this August, helping recognize the entrepreneurs, founders, and companies driving innovation across Southern California.
On Judging Day (August 5), Kaitlin will meet with several finalist companies, hear about the groundbreaking technologies and ideas they're bringing to market, and collaborate with an outstanding panel of judges to select this year's category winners.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the experience is the opportunity to get an early look at the companies shaping the future of technology and innovation. Kaitlin looks forward to engaging with this year's finalists, participating in thoughtful discussions with fellow judges, and celebrating the remarkable work being done throughout the region.
Congratulations to all of this year's finalists. Kaitlin also looks forward to celebrating the winners at the @2026 High Tech Innovation Awards Gala on September 24 in Irvine.
