Come have a free beer, grab a snack and get to know one another at our Philly Super Meetup!

The Super Meetup is a gathering of the most-connected members of the local tech, startup, and entrepreneurial scene. It’s a chance to make new friends and learn more about local tech and entrepreneurial resources and tech-focused meetup groups.

The Shambles: South Street Headhouse District's historic open-air space.

The idea of the Super Meetup is simple: meetups are integral to any tech scene. Every now and then, it makes sense to rally the leaders of tech-related meetups in town and gather for one big mixer. The idea is to connect people with groups they may not have otherwise known about.

There are dozens of active user groups in Philly, but we don't often enough come together to make sure we know each other, know which groups are still active, what groups are doing, and where there is room for collaboration.

The following groups will definitely be represented. Holler at us if any other groups would like to be included!
