Why you won’t want to miss the 10th annual Philly Tech Week

Inspiring speakers. Breakthrough innovations. Real-world advice. Time to let loose. Here’s what to expect across the city’s 100 events, parties and conferences, set for May 1 through 9.

Dates and hubs are now set for our milestone Philly Tech Week 2020 presented by Comcast. Events are being added every day and attendees are securing their spots for Philly’s only weeklong festival dedicated to tech and innovation.

Industry leaders both small and large as well as rising stars across the Greater Philadelphia region are on board as sponsors to share their expertise and show what they’re doing to stay at the top of their game in the innovation landscape. Community organizers are developing thought-provoking workshops, and successful entrepreneurs are ready to share their experience about what it takes to scale a business in our rapidly evolving digital world.

The PTW promise

Philly Tech Week 2020 presented by Comcast will highlight some of the most inspired thinkers and industry leaders across seven tracks of curated programming.

From well-established industry leaders such as Vanguard, Independence Blue Cross and URBN, to career engineers and developers, small-but-mighty industry disruptors and independent artists, you’ll be able to expand your horizons, find your dream job, promote your company’s efforts and stay ahead of the curve.
