Thank you for your interest in speaking at TECH360 2023. 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 Artificial Intelligence 360 – or AI 360 – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. AI has been around for years, continues to evolve and is here to stay. At this year’s TECH360 attendees will learn the current and future trends in AI tech, application, risks, benefits and ethics around using AI in the best way for you and your business.

Website updates for this year's event are coming soon.  Visit www.tech360pa.com for details of the 2022 event.  TECH360 is presented by the Innovative Technology Action Group (ITAG) an initiative of the Chester County Economic Development Council (CCEDC).

Complete the questions below for consideration by the TECH360 planning committee.  Our goal is to deliver helpful, practical, real-world information to our attendees. 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.   

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.
