Events highlights for the week of March 30 – April 5, 2009

Entrepreneurs are holding the biggest event on our events calendar this week. Join the city’s diverse range of entrepreneurs Thursday night -including more than 40 that have signed up to talk or show off their products – for an evening of thought-provoking business innovation with the Philly Startup Leaders at their Entrepreneur Expo. You’re guaranteed to set that brainstorming into overdrive, and who knows, you might meet the investor that will change your life.
The rest of the week, Bloblive is back and more “open” and “mic”-y than ever. SEO Grail will see what they can do to help get your Web site to the top of Google, but don’t expect miracles, people. Last, the Hacktory‘s Open Hack! is back after complications last month.
Events listed in our highlights are free to attend. Please check our Events calendar for more information and read more after the jump.

Monday, March 30: Like last week, Bloblive will be allowing newcomers free admission to its open mic session of entrepreneurial ideas.

And to be frank, there’s nothing else happenin’ Monday. 6:00 p.m., Center City. RSVP. [View more events]

Saturday, April 4: The Hactory will host their monthly Open Hack! in their Fairmount digs. Last month’s event was canceled, so if you’ve been itching to hack some Arduino and more, stop by for a casual Saturday afternoon of electronics mischief. 1:00 p.m., Fairmount. Details. [View more events]
