Clear your calendars! Philly Tech Week is on the horizon.

In its 14th year, Philly Tech Week presented by Comcast and hosted by 1Philadelphia and Technical.ly takes place from May 3-11, with a wide range of events for everyone interested in the tech community.

There’s a full event calendar, and here are a few key events to keep in mind:

  • Monday, May 6: At Wired Differently: 1PHL Special Edition Meetup, learn about innovation across Philly at this mixer with food and drink
  • Tuesday, May 7: It’s like TWIJ, IRL. The NET/WORK Job Fair brings together organizations across the city for networking, workshops and resume feedback.
  • Wednesday, May 8: Attention, devs! The Technical.ly Developers Conference is a full day of presentations, group discussions and workshops for industry developers.
  • Thursday, May 9: Advance your career skills at the Technical.ly Builders Conference, then stick around in the evening for the swanky Signature Event.
