Don’t Forget: TechCrunch Is In Philadelphia Tomorrow

Tomorrow we’re invading Philly for an evening of networking, fun, and bacchanalian pleasure. Are you coming?

Josh Zelman, Jordan Crook, Chris Velazco, and myself will be rolling into Philadelphia on Tuesday morning and we’re ready to talk startups, tech, and all things in between. We’re excited to head out to the city of brotherly love and we’re also excited to announce a new sponsor, Uber, who is offering a special gift to our Philly readers.

The Philly Meetup will begin promptly at 6pm and go until 10pm, and will be held in The Fieldhouse on June 19. If you’d like to RSVP, head on over to our Plancast page. Specific questions can be directed to john@techcrunch.com. Oh, and if you want to tweet us, it’s @johnbiggs and @jordanrcrook.

We’re also holding Office Hours earlier on in the day, around high noon, although the official reservations are already closed. Still, it wouldn’t be the first time we met up with some eager, yet unannounced startups at an Office Hours session, so feel free to stop on by the Caribou Cafe around then and we’ll try to squeeze everyone in.

Special thanks to our excellent sponsors who helped get this thing off the ground as well as Anthony Coombs who was our ears on the ground. We’ll also be hunting for Disrupt Battlefield companies, so get your pitch down cold.

If you would like to volunteer to help at the event, please email jordan @ techcrunch.com with the subject line “VOLUNTEER PHILLY.” We need people to hang out at the door and help with signage, etc.

Uber would like to help you get to and from the event so if you enter the coupon code TechCrunchPhilly before requesting a ride you’ll get 20% off of 2 trips.
