Organized by 1Philadelphia, the weeklong series is part of the city’s broader America 250 efforts, tying this year’s programming to themes around accessibility and community participation.
Unlike a traditional conference, Philly Tech Week operates as an open calendar, with events hosted by local companies, institutions and independent organizers. The lineup typically ranges from beginner-friendly meetups to industry panels, networking events and social gatherings.
Among the larger events is the Startup Summit on May 6 at Ballers Philadelphia, which will bring together founders and investors for a half-day of discussions. The Builders Conference will run May 6 through 8 at CYTOPHL, focusing on entrepreneurship and the local tech community. The week will conclude May 8 with a festival-style closing event at Gather Food Hall.
Many events are free to attend, though some require advance registration.
