A final look at the PTW20 Community Calendar is here. It’s time to build your schedule

Philly Tech Week presented by Comcast looks a bit different this year but it’s no less distinctly PTW, with its emphasis on grassroots knowledge sharing and exposure to global trends and movements. From deep technical talks by Philly-based community members to a livestreamed global music tech conference, the community calendar of events reflects PTW’s founding and future vision.
