Why you want to attend the Technical.ly Builders Conference on May 9

Something innovation communities get right is the events.

Tech meetups are coming back. Entrepreneurs are back to having dinner together. And here come the conferences.

On Thursday, May 9, we will host our next Technical.ly Builders Conference, and we want you to join in Philadelphia at the posh Fitler Club. Come for the daytime conference and stay for the party: our annual Signature Event helps close out the 14th annual Philly Tech Week Presented by Comcast. Early-bird pricing ends April 1.

Reserve your ticket before April 1
Understandably, attending a conference is an investment — one that’s even more significant in today’s economic climate. That’s why we’re designing the Technical.ly Builders Conference to advance your business and career goals. 

It’s not just an event; it’s a day packed with professional development opportunities, trending industry insights, and networking that can catalyze your business and career growth. 

Prepare to leave the conference with actionable strategies, new connections, and a deeper understanding of tech workforce and entrepreneurship. Experts will give the latest on AI’s local economic impact, hiring and employee engagement trends (especially for non-tech firms that hire tech talent) and the latest on how innovation ecosystems shifted post-pandemic.

Here’s some more info to help you convince someone to invest in your ticket — even if that person is you.
