Philly Tech Week 2021 Presented by Comcast will be produced by PACT, in partnership with longtime organizer Technical.ly
To be held May 7-15, 2021, the 11th annual will feature a unique collaboration between two of Philadelphia’s tech community anchors
PHILADELPHIA (FEBRUARY 10, 2021) -- Today local tech economy news site Technical.ly and regional tech council Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT) announce their partnership to produce Philly Tech Week 2021 Presented by Comcast.
Since 2010, Technical.ly, which is published by digital media company Technically Media, has served as lead organizer for Philly Tech Week, an annual open calendar of events celebrating technology, entrepreneurship and innovation. The week has always featured a wide array of supportive collaborators and partners, including PACT. This will change for the 11th annual which will take place virtually May 7-15, 2021.
A virtual town hall on PTW21 will be held on Monday, Feb. 22. Register here.
The two organizations are trialing a partnership in which PACT will leverage its strengths and longstanding history as a convener of the regional tech and healthcare innovation community to serve as lead organizer, with Technical.ly taking a secondary role. PACT will lead community organizing efforts, including managing the week’s community calendar — which routinely includes more than 100 events — and centralize the week’s messaging. Technical.ly will produce its annual future of work conference Introduced and the Technical.ly Developers Conference. The Technical.ly newsroom will continue to track the Philadelphia tech economy, which celebrates innovation in Philadelphia annually with Philly Tech Week.
