Philly Tech Week Signature Event April 27: cocktail reception with robots, local video games, more

For a week as stacked as the second annual Philly Tech Week presented by AT&T, during the last week of April, there has to be a killer main event.

Turns out, Tech Week has more than its share of anchor events, but here’s one to take note of. To celebrate another year of good work and good deeds around technology in Philadelphia, Technically Philly will be hosting another Philly Tech Week Signature Event at the Moore College of Art and Design Friday April 27, 2012.

Last year’s was a great party, but this year will be what you always wanted out of a cocktail reception: mini-Hubo robots from Drexel University, locally-produced video game demos from Final Form, 3d printing from NextFab, hacker projects from Hive76, an iPad caricaturist presented by Novotorium and a lot more tech toys to play with, celebrating Philadelphia. (If you have something extraordinarily cool that people can play with and is built locally, hit us up, and let’s talk).

Oh, in addition to hobnobbing with Philly’s tech elite and playing with local toys, your $20 early-bird ticket will also get you, like last year, booze and noms. After April 1, tickets go up to $30, which we still think is a darn good deal.

We fully expect to have some more announcements and excitement around the event, which is followed by a full array of other Friday night events. Start with us, and head out to Games and Music, low lives 4 in Philadelphia, the Science Festival’s Astronomy Night and others. Full details at PhillyTechWeek.com.
