Over 50 impressive speakers will present at PTW20’s Technical.ly conferences

Since last week’s first round announcement of speakers for Technical.ly’s two full-day conferences happening during Philly Tech Week 2020 presented by Comcast, the list has swelled to well over 50. Top-tier technology, innovation and people operations experts combine with leaders in civic, nonprofit and business environments, bringing breadth and depth to Technical.ly’s core professional conferences.

The Technical.ly Developers Conference will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 23, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, with three main frameworks for the day’s sessions: What’s Next, Growth Stage and At Scale. On Friday, Sept. 25, we close the week out with the Introduced by Technical.ly conference. While Introduced remains focused on its larger theme of building better companies, 2020 includes sessions and workshops addressing economic recovery, diversity and equity.
