The latest Philly startup to hold a user conference is ApprenNet, the edtech startup that recently merged with San Francisco startup Handsfree Learning.
Held last week at Drexel’s law school, ApprenNet’s “Gather and Learn” event focused on how education technology is affecting higher education and corporate learning. ApprenNet’s new CEO, Paul Freedman, came over from San Francisco for the event.
