Philly Tech Week 2023 presented by Comcast officially kicks off next week, featuring more than 40 tech-related events. Technical.ly has been organizing this regional event for 13 years and it has evolved over the years, including, of course, a couple of reduced editions due to COVID-19.

We reported a few events in person last year, and in 2023 Philly Tech Week is back in all its glory. If you’ve never been, know that PTW is a great way to connect with other Greater Philadelphia technologists, entrepreneurs, professionals, and creatives. Most events are within walking distance of a SEPTA train station, so you can hop on a train in Wilmington or Newark for under $15 round-trip and with no parking hassles.
