Thank you for your interest in speaking at Tech360 2019!  Tech360 is the Philly ‘burbs’ premier innovative business technology conference – an annual full day tech experience featuring tech education, leadership and innovation. Join the area’s top companies, IT professionals, leaders and managers to discuss how to best leverage the latest technology in today’s business climate.  This year's theme is Transformation360 - Evolving Business in a Digital World.  

Website updates for this year's event are coming soon.  Visit www.tech360pa.com for details of the 2018 event.  Tech360 is presented by the Innovative Technology Action Group (ITAG) an initiative of the Chester County Economic Development Council (CCEDC).

The TECH360 planning committee will review each submission; however, we are only able to accommodate applications that best meet our programming needs.

The information you provide will be included on the Tech360 website and promotional materials if your proposal is chosen.   Speakers should plan for breakout sessions to be 50 minutes in length, including a 35 minute presentation with 15 minutes for Q&A.  

We believe that innovation is enhanced by a variety of perspectives, and we are committed to our goal of creating an inclusive, respectful conference environment that invites participation from people of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions, and sexual orientations.
