Though it may seem like Philly Tech Week 2017 presented by Comcast is the only event happening in Philly this week, turns out there’s some kind of football jawn also going down. It’s apparently v important.
OK, fine. The NFL Draft is happening this week here in Philadelphia. In honor of the event, the Visit Philly crew partnered with the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau to pepper a few NFL-themed Snapchat geofilters around town.
Though the full list isn’t being disclosed, you can spot some at Dilworth Plaza, AT&T Station, Reading Terminal Market and a few hip bars and hotels. Philadelphia Business Journal reporter Alison Burdo spotted one on the Parkway:

“The CVB worked with us to cover hotspots around the city in hopes that the many visitors would snap and share their experience in Philly with their friends back home,” said Visit Philly spokesperson Arturo Varela.
