Philly founders and investors are headed to Camden for the UP Conference

A slice of Philly’s tech scene is hopping over the Delaware River for a tech-oriented entrepreneurship event called the UP Conference, organized by Camden-based nonprofit Waterfront Ventures.

The UP Conference is happening Jan. 14 at Camden’s Waterfront Technology Center (right where the Camden CoLab coworking space is based). A quick browse through the speaker lineup will show you it’s peppered with Philly tech folks, like RJMetrics founder Robert Moore and SnipSnap founder Ted Mann. (Fun fact: RJMetrics used to work out of the Camden CoLab, when it used to be the Rutgers Camden Business Incubator.)
