Trellist to Host Tech Week Event in Philadelphia
On Wednesday, April 24th, 2013, as part of Philly Tech Week, Trellist® Marketing and Technology will be hosting “Technically Challenged — A Battle of the Brains.” The event will be held at First Round Capital Holdings at 4040 Locust Street in Philadelphia from 6-9pm.
The event invites Philly’s best and brightest technologists, designers, entrepreneurs and strategists to go “head to head” in a competition to see who can develop the most innovative and creative solution to a complex business problem. Teams will present their solution to a panel of judges who will be scoring on the basis of creativity, usability and feasibility.
Judges for the competition will include a number of leaders in the Philadelphia-area marketing and technology community, including: Kjell Hegstad, Capital One Managing Director for Mobile and Emerging Technologies; Chris Wink, Technically Philly Co-Founder; and Steve Kirton, Circa Healthcare President.
Philly Tech Week is described by organizer Technically Philly as “A week-long celebration of technology and innovation in Philadelphia.” This year’s week of events will run from April 20th through the 27th with a focus on technology, collaboration and improvement — encompassing as many industries and areas as possible. Artists, designers, business people, students and government participate in Philly Tech Week either as attendees, sponsors or organizers, with last year’s Tech Week drawing over 10,000 attendees.
Trellist has attended a number of Philly Tech Week events over the years, but this year will be the first that the firm is an active Philly Tech Week sponsor and event host. “Participation in events such as Philly Tech Week does more than just keep our finger on the pulse of technology and innovation. As Trellist continues to grow and expand our footprint, events such as these provide an excellent opportunity for recruiting, as they attract some of the top talent in marketing and technology,” states David Atadan, Trellist CEO and Founding Partner.
Trellist has been featured in the news frequently over the past year as the firm continues to hire and grow at a significant rate, with regional and national expansion planned.
