Building great companies is more complicated than ever. Technical.ly’s annual Introduced conference is a summit of people working to do it better.
The day is for company culture builders from entrepreneurs to people operations pros, and those growing the tech ecosystems where they thrive. Introduced is back on Thursday, May 13, and wow, this thing is all free and all virtual — which means you can dip in for the parts most relevant for your work. Attendees come from across the country, though we’re proudly part of the 11th annual Philly Tech Week presented by Comcast.
