Whether you’re planning to join us for our other conferences or just coming to the gala, the Signature Event is a chance for everyone in the tech community to participate in fun, interactive activities and networking, with tons of food, drinks and music.

We’ll have a wide array of tech demonstrations, including products like the Apple Vision Pro and other VR sets, video games developed by the Drexel University Gaming Lab, 3D-printed chocolate by Cocoa Press and more. You can also enjoy bowling during lunch and after conference programming, courtesy of the Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs team.
