Tech Trunk Show: How Technology Drives Fashion

Join Tech In Motion (http://www.techinmotionevents.com/) for an evening at the intersection of technology and fashion, with a side of cocktails and Google Glass! In the midst of Philadelphia Fashion Week, the Tech Trunk Show is bringing to center stage three local experts of the IT behind the retail curtain.

Sip on a craft cocktail from our featured liquor sponsor, Art in the Age, while networking with some of the best tech minds in the greater Philadelphia area during a garden cocktail reception. Later, hear from some of the local experts that are innovating Google Glass applications, mobile shopping and cloud-based fulfillment systems in ways that may soon change the way even fashionistas shop. Stick around, and maybe you’ll get the chance to chat them up about it.

We're excited to offer all guests who are new to Uber a complimentary ride up to $20 for the Tech Trunk Show. Sign up and ride in style with promo code: “TECHTRUNKSHOW (http://www.uber.com/go/TECHTRUNKSHOW)”. (Shhh, but you can also snag a gift card at the event in our Tech Trunk Show grab bags.)
