Event Highlights for March 15-21, 2010

The big event this week isn’t in Philly at all. But Philadelphia has quite a presence in Austin, Texas, this week for South by Southwest, for sure. Our reporter Sean Blanda is hot on the trial, chasing down Philly’s representatives. He’ll follow-up with a report later this week.
That said, there’s some great opportunities here in Philadelphia, too. Join Microsoft’s Malvern branch for its CloudCamp unconference to discuss the growing cloud computing industry and Philly Startup Leaders hosts a fishbowl of City of Philadelphia’s Digital Philadelphia vision with city officials.
All events listed on the event calendar are free to attend. Be sure to check our complete calendar for more.

Tuesday, March 16th: Microsoft’s Philly campus is hosting CloudCamp, an unconference for cloud computing technologies. The group already has a handful of attendees for the free event. We’d like to think Steve Balmer will show up to talk about that Sidekick data loss incident, but our eight ball says “doubtful.” 5:00 p.m. Malvern. RSVP. [view more events]
Wednesday, March 17th: Philly Startup Leaders will host a fishbowl with the City of Philadelphia’s Chief Technology Officer Allan Frank to discuss the city’s network infrastructure and economic plans to create a growing technology ecosystem. This one’s not to be missed if you’re concerned about Philadelphia’s tech future. 7:00 p.m. Center City. RSVP. [view more events]
Wednesday, March 17: Also on Wednesday, the Entrepreneurs Forum of Greater Philadelphia hosts an introduction to Cleantech companies, like Finite Carbon, Hydrogen Odorization Technology and Momentum Dynamics. If you’re looking to use your brainy technology abilities in a new industry, look no further. 5:30 p.m. City Line Avenue. RSVP. [view more events]
