The calendar for Philly Tech Week 2015 presented by Comcast is growing. We’re excited to see many new organizations, large and small, getting involved in the week.
Check out some of the events and new features on our recently relaunched PhillyTechWeek.com, built in partnership with our friends at Jarvus Innovations.
In an effort to be inclusive and help smaller organizations (or those that are specifically mission-driven) have a presence at Philly Tech Week, we are again offering modest stipends to help cover event costs, including snacks, a venue rental, supplies, etc.
We’re giving these grants to events that can do the most good with the least money; those that fit the community and impact the positive spirit of #PTW15.
This year, we’ll be offering 5-10 microgrants ranging from $50-$300 to meaningful groups that embody one or more of Tech Week’s six tracks.

Apply now

The deadline to apply is Monday, March 2.
In the interest of transparency, we always share that Philly Tech Week sponsorship is a big part of what funds our year-round, daily reporting and full-time community organizing efforts, but we’re always committed to bringing more groups into the fold.

We look forward to reviewing your submissions!
