We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Philadelphia. And to all of those that got up early (or stayed up late) for Black Friday, we hope you got the gadget you were after.
Before we get to the events, we have a present for you. Use the code 5AATECHP when purchasing a ticket for the Wharton BizTech event this week and save $30 bucks off the “professional” ticket price to bring the total cost under $100. Quite a steal if you ask us.
This week: help the tots, get schooled on e-commerce and make an IMPACT.
