Philly Tech Week Mayoral Forum on Technology, Entrepreneurship and Innovation
On Tues. May 19, the Philadelphia Democratic Mayoral Primary may likely determine who will be the executive leader and public face for one of the country's largest cities for the next four or even eight years.
During the Nutter administration, there was an explosion of technology, entrepreneurship and new innovative thinking in the public, private and nonprofit spaces of the city. With that momentum, the Philadelphia technology and entrepreneurship communities should rally to show our interest in a smarter future.
Come out to the only mayoral forum dedicated to the issues of technology, entrepreneurship, innovation and the retention of this city's blossoming creative class. We'll get to hear the candidates address the issues outlined in our Mayoral Questionnaire. Find out more information here.
All major current and officially declared candidates have confirmed their attendance and will be given 10 minutes on stage to answer questions:
- State Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams
- Former City Councilman Jim Kenney
- Former District Attorney Lynne Abraham
- Former PGW executive Doug Oliver
- Lawyer Nelson Diaz
- Milton Street
