About this Event
You don’t have to be “in tech” to belong at Philly Tech Week.
Tech & Tonic (Without the Tech) is a high‑energy, welcoming kickoff event designed for creatives, wellness pros, founders, educators, artists, civic leaders, and the tech‑curious.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I’m not technical enough.”
“I don’t speak tech.”
“I’m not sure I belong.”
This night is for you.
Hosted by The Connective Tissue (Global Techtritionist Alliance, Nelevate, NelNutrition, and PhilaCon Valley), this event is your on‑ramp into the Philly Tech Week ecosystem — without the awkward jargon.
What Your $10 Ticket Includes:
🍸 One tonic-inspired cocktail or botanical mocktail
🥂 Lite bites
🎤 Founder storytelling: “We Almost Didn’t Come to PTW”
🤝 Fast, fun guided networking rounds
🎶 Cultural open mic (music, jokes, pitches, spoken word & bold ideas)
🔥 PLUS: Nelevate is bringing The Jump Lab™ to Tech & Tonic!
This wellness activation combines fun, fitness, and innovation. Test the patent‑pending Pulse Rope, compete in a live jump challenge, and see your stats in real time. Complete the quick survey ahead of time at nelevate.net/beta to skip the line and jump straight in for a chance to win up to $300 in prizes!

This isn’t another networking happy hour.
It’s a cultural bridge.
Innovation isn’t just code.
It’s creativity. Community. Courage.
If you’ve ever wondered whether Philly Tech Week is “for you” — this is your invitation.
Sip boldly. Connect intentionally. Show up anyway.
