PTW2026 Closing Party
Philly Tech Week 2026 Closing Party
Tech for the People. Built in Philly.
We’re closing out the 16th annual Philly Tech Week — and doing it the only way Philly knows how: together.
As part of the semiquincentennial celebration, this year’s Philly Tech Week is exploring a powerful theme: Tech for the People. This week reinforces our belief that technology doesn’t belong to a select few. It impacts all of us. It’s built by all of us. And in Philadelphia, it’s for all of us.
Now it’s time to celebrate!
Join us for our closing party at Gather Food Hall as we bring the entire ecosystem together. This event is the culmination of a week of ideas, innovation, and impact — and a reflection of the city we’re building together.
Whether you attended one event or twenty, this is where we reunite. Let’s close out Philly Tech Week 2026 by celebrating the community that makes it possible — and the future we’re building, together.
