The second annual Philly Tech Week presented by AT&T, is almost here, but with about 80 events over the course of just one week, creating a plan of attack might feel a little overwhelming.

To help you get ready in the next couple weeks, we’ll be highlighting events according to our five event tracks: entrepreneurship/investment, media/transparency, access/policy, design/development and arts/creative. To be clear, we’ve tried our best to make sure only the most meaningful events are on our calendar, so there’s value in all of them.

Here, we’re just picking out a few that might have wide interest — check out the entire Entrepreneurship/Investment calendar!

For now, to start, here are five of the coolest events from the Entrepreneurship/Investment track presented by Morgan Lewis.
