Join us for a special preview event of the third annual Philly Tech Week presented by AT&T (http://www.phillytechweek.com). This event will offer a brief lightning-talk intros to some of the exciting things happening in each of the five tracks in which PTW is organized: Art/Creative, Access/Policy, Design/Development, Entrepreneurship/Investment and Media/Transparency (Details on those presenters to come).

You can also RSVP on Facebook here (https://www.facebook.com/events/558927747480236).

And then we'll be joined by an impressive panel of national tech reporters discussing national trends in technology and innovation and how Philly fits into it all. There will also be the announcement of a major interactive public digital arts display that will be held during the week.

Erica Ogg of GigaOM (http://gigaom.com/), reports on Apple, though occasionally she'll detour into stories about how personal tech intersects with two of her favorite things: travel and food. Timothy B. Lee of Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/), covers tech policy with a particular focus on patent and copyright law, privacy, free speech, and open government. John-Paul Titlow of ReadWrite (http://readwrite.com/), has been writing for ReadWrite since June 2011. His areas of focus include the future of music and entertainment, the ongoing online copyright wars and Apple. Chris Grant of Polygon (http://www.polygon.com), is the founding editor of the year-old national video game culture news site, after a previous stint as an editorial director at Aol's Joystiq
