Around 300 people attended the two day(and evening party) event at the really nice Raddison Warwick hotel in downtown Philly. I found it really wonderful that the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp was a major sponsor. They are the people behind the new hip focused tourism site UWISHUNU ;Philly from an insider perspective.
This proves that Philly is no longer your father’s Philly but is finally changing it’s self concept to compete among the best cities in the US. Rocky and cheese steaks are so 20th century. Philly can be know as a hip, leading edge place that is not resting on past glories. Blog Philadelphia is another step in that transformation. Already scheduled for September is the first Philly Podcamp to keep the momentum going.
A wonderful announcement was the formation of a new organization for supporting independent consultants called sure enough Independents Hall. This is the brainchild of Alex Hillman, an energetic web developer and true Philadelphia promoter. The concept is co-working. Instead of being isolated in your home office you hang out a communal office and share the energy.
