We are pleased to announce the 3rd installment of Philly Hardware Meetup, our first event hosted by Pennovation Works, and our first to be part of Philly Tech Week!

Come join us for a drink, chance to meet other hardware professionals, as well as share what you’re working on during the community open mic session.
