Festival Ticket Information

In what has become an annual milestone for the Central PA technology scene attendees will journey to Harrisburg PA and immerse themselves in the worlds of technology, design, music and film. By day, over 20 conference sessions will provide a deep dive into the technology and design scene focusing on 21st century healthcare, information technology, the Internet of Things (IOT), government technology innovation, life sciences and startup tech. By night, dozens of artists will perform in several venues at different networking events throughout the city of Harrisburg and film enthusiasts will be treated to a mini film festival held in Harrisburg’s Midtown.

We’ll be repeating many of last years successful and widely attended events including: Healthcare in the 21st Century, Government Technology Innovation, Women in Tech and the Midtown Movie Festival.

Last year over 250 attendees joined us for the Tech Lounge: the premier technology networking event in Central PA. This year we’ll be repeating that event at a new, larger venue with great food, drink and live music.

New additions to this year’s conference program include:

• Bar Camp – the “unconference conference”
• The UPNEXT 1.0 Hack where teams of technologists spend the week building new products while vying for over $25,000 in prizes
• UPNEXT 2.0 Pitch Contest where established startups polish their pitches in order to impress a panel of Angel and VC investors;
• UPNEXT Music Night where festival attendees gather to eat great food, share locally crafted beer and listen to Central PA bands do the thing that they do
• Innovation Café for insights into the leading edge life sciences initiatives underway at Penn State Hershey Medical Center and the Hershey Center for Advanced Research.
