We’re proud to announce that Comcast will be the title sponsor for the second year in a row. Philly Tech Week 2016 presented by Comcast is taking place April 29-May 7 and there are so many ways to get involved.

Here are some important tips and deadlines:

• Organize an event! Philly Tech Week wouldn’t exist without the participation from our community organizers. Check out our Event Organizer Guide for more information on hosting an event during the week.
• Want your company to have serious visibility? We have plenty of sponsorship opportunities available throughout the week. Check out our Sponsorship Prospectus for more information.
• Interested in speaking? Fill out our Speaker Interest Form.
• Want to show off your app/product/company? Tell us about yourself and apply to demo at either our Kickoff (April 29) or Signature Event (May 6).
• Just looking to help out? We always need volunteers at our events, fill out this brief form and we’ll contact you with opportunities as the week gets closer.
• Attend! Don’t forget to mark your calendars, we’re less than three months away! It’s April 29-May 7, 2016.

If you are organizing an event, here are the deadlines you should know:
