Innovation Weekend is where founders, funders and ecosystem builders come together to create equitable opportunities in tech.
1Philadelphia’s annual conference for tech and innovation is back! Innovation Weekend 2024 will bring participants together for three days of meaningful connections, actionable insights and collective action towards tech equity. Join the conversation with regional and national leaders as we gather to tackle critical issues impacting organizations and practitioners in the tech field. This year's theme, UNBOUND, is an invitation to move beyond conventional frameworks to construct new ways on learning and doing that help us realize real impact for all people that want to be involved in the tech and innovation sectors.
