Event Highlights: August 8 – August 13

With 15 events on Wednesday and Thursday alone, this week’s events calendar is likely too full for even the most ravenous tech junkie.
If you want to save a little time for other things (you know, like sleep), you may want to pick and choose this week. To help you out, we’ve chosen three events you won’t want to miss.
We’ve built up your anticipation, and DreamIt Ventures Demo Day is finally here. Check it out on Wednesday, along with the first-ever Philly WordPress Meetup. Then join Philly Startup Leaders on Thursday for their first annual TECH Cocktail Philadelphia.

Wednesday, August 11: This year’s DreamIt Ventures Demo Day promises to be bigger than ever, thanks to Brooklyn-based partner, Startl. DreamIt is gaining national recognition as one of the top tech incubators in the country, and Demo Day will be your first chance to meet the 14 startups who are part of the 2010 Ventures Program. Meet, greet and be inspired. 8:00 a.m. Center City. INFO. [view more events]
Wednesday, August 11: If you love WordPress as much as we do, this is the event for you. It’s hard to believe this is Philly’s first WordPress meet-up, but Future Media Concepts is getting things started in a big way. Drop by and discuss WordPress 3.0 and what you want to see in future meet-ups. There will be pizza and cool WordPress schwag, too. 7:00 p.m. Old City. RSVP. [view more events]
