This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 10-18

2009-10-18T17:09:00.000-04:00

Yet another week where technical difficulties prevent me from pulling together a complete This Week in Philadelphia posting. Good thing Google's tools are free, because who would want to pay for them?

Anyway, I can point you to the source of my material: the Basecamp Business Calendar Network. I've set up a week-at-a-glance view for everything listed as happening in Philadelphia this week. Usually I like to cherry-pick through to find events I think you'd find especially interesting. This time, you can filter the list yourself by clicking on the "More Search Options" at the top right.

Among the interesting items this week: Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic, Philly Startup Leaders' Breakfast and Happy Hour meetings. Peter Shankman at PRSA, and the GPSEG Fall Networking event. There are 95 other events this week.

This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 8-9

2009-08-09T17:58:00.003-04:00

Lots of great get-togethers this week. Me, I plan on going to the DreamIt Ventures Demo Day on Thursday, which is a good place to get a sense of what is happening in the Philadelphia entrepreneurial/venture community. The Entrepreneurs Forum of Greater Philadelphia is also holding a networking event this week, which is always a good place to connect.

The Delaware Bioscience Business Roundtable and the Pennsylvania Bio event have been getting a lot of attention on the Basecamp Business Calendar over the past few weeks, too.

This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 8-2

2009-08-02T21:23:00.004-04:00

This week's Comcast New Media Exchange: Social Media Seminar for Nonprofit Executives is sold out, though you can listen to it online (though that's not really networking, is it?). Instead, look towards Podcamp Philly, happening on October 3 and 4, and Barcamp Philly, on November 14. These "unconferences" are a great way to get your finger on the pulse of the local tech/new media/social entrepreneur scene. (Personally, I always thought they should be called "unconventions", but that's just me.)

Also, the Free Business Writing seminar held Rowan University Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship looks pretty unprepossessing, but it features someone sent by the Cabot cheese cooperative to talk about business writing. That's an intriguing twist.

This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 7-5

2009-07-05T21:30:00.004-04:00

These creative types really need to get their scheduling in sync! There are no less than three events targeted at the "creative community" on Wednesday -- the Creative Associations Showcase, Creative Connects, and the pre-DIY Days Creative Meetup -- though I suppose they are spread out enough that you could cruise from one to the other. 5 to 7, 5:30 to 8, and 7 to 11.

Some other interesting things happening this post-holiday mid-Summer week: BBQs, blobs, hacks, career transitions, and leadership chasms.

This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 6-14

2009-06-14T22:36:00.003-04:00

Happy Flag Day.

Not much going on Monday or Friday, but there's a whole lot stuffed into Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The DVIRC is opening up a new network group for manufacturers from Upper Bucks and Montgomery Counties, with the first meeting on Tuesday morning. The new Philadelphia area chapter of the National Business Marketing Association is holding its 2nd kick-off meeting at Kildare's in King of Prussia, one of several meetings taking place there. There's also an interesting-sounding get-together called "The Business of Sports Networking Event."

On top of this, there's the Wharton Leadership Conference, a face-off between an entrepreneur and a VC at the Venture Association of New Jersey (VANJ) luncheon, and a whole bunch of networking mixers, including the Philadelphia SHRM networking event, which for some reason has been one of the most-viewed events on the Basecamp Business Calendar for several months now.

My goodness! Is it Tuesday already? And I forgot to post! I was totally tied up on Sunday and simply unable to post. Then Monday, and now Tuesday, rolled around, and I didn't get to the post because, after all, that's something I do on Sunday and it was now Tuesday. Thanks to all of you who sent me note wondering what happened. It's nice to know that you find this useful.

And you know you can always find these events on the Basecamp Business web site, which is now found on the MAC Alliance, Select Greater Philadelphia, Ben Franklin Technology PArtners, South Jersey Technology Park, Hershey Center for Applied Research, and soon many others.

Anyway, much sorry for not getting this out on Sunday. There's a LOT happening this week, with the MAC Alliance Luncheon, the Baiada Center 2009 Entrepreneur Conference, The Governor’s Entrepreneurial Business Conference, just to name a few. There's also barbecues, open hacks, camps, and sparglefests, for those in a lighter moods.
