I’m not sure why but I often get asked about what is going in Philly. I will be the first to admit that there is no way I can keep track of all of the fun and interesting events going on in the entrepreneurial, tech and creative communities in Philly. However since I am getting the question on a regular basis, I’ve decided to start sending out regular blog posts on some of the fun and educational events for the organizations that I am involved with. I hope it gives everyone some ideas on things to do.
(Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive list. There are many more events occurring throughout the city and I encourage you to locate and attend the ones that appeal to you. These are just some of the events for the organizations that I am involved with. If you need help locating an event, please let me know and I’ll try and point you in the right direction.)
