What is your Big Idea for Philadelphia?

ArtsTechPhilly: Where Arts, Tech, & Culture Meet Up

My presentation will (briefly!) outline Philly's art and tech resources, enumerate ways in which they collaborate currently, and explore why this is important for our community. I will also describe what ArtsTechPhilly does locally and nationally, present a sneak peak of our plans for next year's Philly Tech week and the two Hackathons we will be hosting, and pitch the who, why, what, and how to get involved!
