Philly Tech Week will return May 4-8 for its 16th year, bringing more than 50 events to venues across the city.<\/p>\n

Organized by 1Philadelphia, the weeklong series is part of the city\u2019s broader America 250 efforts, tying this year\u2019s programming to themes around accessibility and community participation.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0The Builders Conference will run May 6 through 8 at CYTOPHL, focusing on entrepreneurship and the local tech community.\u00a0The week will conclude May 8 with a festival-style closing event at Gather Food Hall.<\/p>\n

Many events are free to attend, though some require advance registration.<\/p>\n
