21 places to get work done in Philly

If you’re a remote worker looking to change it up with your work space or a startup founder looking for community, Philly has no shortage of coworking and creator spaces for you to consider.

Here are 21 coworking spaces in and around Philly, from national chains like WeWork to locally grown organizations like Indy Hall. Plus, an interactive map that shows where all these spots are.

➡️ See all the coworking spaces on this year’s roundup.

Share events with the right audience

Sure, there are plenty of places to post an event — but how many can say it’ll be seen by the largest engaged audience of technologists, entrepreneurs, tech leaders and ecosystem builders in the mid-Atlantic?

That’s the value prop of Technical.ly’s new Events Board. Fill out a simple form, and your post will go live, with zero cost for free events. (Paid ticketed events cost $150.) We’ll be sharing listings from that board in this newsletter and on our social channels and Slack. Catch you there.

➡️ Check out the Events Board and maybe even post your own.
