During Black Tech Week 2026 in downtown Cincinnati, JobsOhio hosted an event at The Backstage Event Center in July 2026. Creative Soul Studios photographed the guests, speakers and activations.
About the Event
Black Tech Week brings founders, technologists and investors to Cincinnati for a week of programming, with events at the Aronoff Center for the Arts and the neighboring Backstage Event Center on Walnut Street.
What We Covered
- Guests and networking throughout the hall
- Live custom T-shirt printing
- The “Our Time Is Now” signing wall
- The JobsOhio lounge
- A live DJ and music
- Portraits of speakers and attendees
How We Approached the Coverage
We walked the space before guests arrived to photograph every activation and branded detail while it was perfect, then shifted to people — guests interacting with the experience, speakers, and the energy of the room. The final gallery mixed wide shots, details and portraits so the client had images for recaps, social and sponsor reporting.

The Backstage Event Center is a flexible open hall next to the Aronoff, which makes it easy to build activations like printing stations, signing walls and lounges. See more on our The Backstage Event Center event photography page.
