Looking back at one of our highlights of #PhillyTechWeek, the 1PHL Women Shaping Tech Dinner was an incredible evening celebrating the trailblazing women in our tech community. It was inspiring to be surrounded by so much innovation and leadership. A huge thank you to our partners at @accenture and the @fitlerclub for helping us bring this event to life and for their continued support in celebrating all things tech in Philadelphia.

“It was all good just a week ago…”
And honestly? It still is.
A week ago today, we hosted the 1Philadelphia Startup Summit as our signature #PhillyTechWeek event, and the energy in the room was everything we hoped it would be. We packed out Ballers Philadelphia, filling the space with founders, investors, creatives, and ecosystem builders focused on what it really takes to build and scale meaningful companies.
Last week felt like proof that Philadelphia is more than capable of competing when it comes to innovation and talent.
Proud of what our team built and grateful to every speaker, partner, attendee, and supporter who helped make the summit possible. Special thanks to: @lift_labs@phlcommerce PA Department of Community & Economic Development @jpmorgan@ballers.social.sports Halloran Philanthropies @benfranklinsep@accenture@pennmedicine@wsfs_bank@junosearch
Dropping the recap video because the energy deserves to be revisited.

Day 5 of #PhillyTechWeek ✅
We didn’t just close out the week. We lit up the entire city with the world’s biggest game of Tetris and turned Gather Food Hall into one of the moments of the year.
A Guinness World Record. A closing party for the books. A city that showed up the whole way through.
That’s a wrap on PTW 2026

I’ve been the Chair of the Technology and Information Services Committee in Philly since 2024, and in that time, I’ve learned firsthand how Philly is a city of innovators. When we move toward the future, it’s always the innovators and changemakers who are leading the pack, and that’s why I presented them with a resolution honoring the efforts of @1phltech . Congrats on another amazing @phillytechweek , and thank you for having me!
🏓 The 1PHL Playground was the perfect way to finish out the day after the Startup Summit. We’re still buzzing from the unbeatable vibes, amazing music by @djdiamondkuts , and the pure joy of seeing so many smiles and connections across our community.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out yesterday and brought their energy, laughter, and love to the event! 🎾 From friendly competitions to building connections, it was everything we hoped for and more.
