Meet these 12 tech companies and see who’s hiring at the Sept. 23 Developers Conference

It goes without saying that this year’s economic climate is unlike nearly any other we’ve experienced in our lifetime. Yet despite massive — and quite frankly, deeply troubling — unemployment figures, hiring and growth are still happening.

The 11 tech companies below prove that opportunity remains for the Philadelphia tech community, and you can meet them all at Technical.ly’s Developers Conference, happening Wednesday, Sept. 23, during Philly Tech Week 2020 presented by Comcast. In addition to a full day of technical talks, technologists will have an opportunity to explore virtual exhibitor booths and connect with local companies that are hiring (whether now or in the near future).
