Kickoff Party: Emerging Tech for the Enterprise Conference

As part of our mission to connect startups with tech talent, PSL is co-hosting a kickoff party for the Emerging Tech for the Enterprise Conference. This conference will bring developers and technologists from around the country to Philadelphia--in addition to attracting many of Philadelphia's finest developers. I encourage all startups in the technology space to check it out. This a great opportunity to meet talent. Sly Fox Brewery will be providing beer samples--in case you needed an excuse! This event is free and does not require that you register for the conference. Great job to Tracey Welson-Rossman from Chariot Solutions for organizing the event.   Kickoff Party for Emerging Tech for the Enterprise Conference March 25th, 5:00 - 7:00pm Drexel's Creese Student Center, 32nd and Chestnut Streets
