If you haven’t joined in the mad dash to the Jersey Shore, don’t fret. We have a packed calendar of technology events that are just as good as some funnel cake. Okay, maybe not funnel cake. But definitely better than salt water taffy.

Our events are stacked early this week, dear reader. On Monday see what the kids at Indy Hall are up to at their third ever town meeting. The next day mingle with the smartest entrepreneurial minds the region has to offer at the Philly Startup Leaders happy hour. Then, enjoy a proper breakfast on Monday as you talk about helping the world through business.

Be sure to check our complete calendar for more events.

Monday, July 12th: Usually when the folks at Independents Hall call a town meeting its for a good reason. Geoff DiMasi and Alex Hillman have asked that Indy Hall members and the interested public gather on Monday, though no word on the reason why.

Wednesday, July 14th: We’ve argued that Philly is the hub for socially conscience businesses and the CFO Alliance continues the conversation over a “Triple Bottom Line Breakfast.” If you you can make it out to the burbs, chat “people, planet and profits” and how CFOs can make the world a better place through their businesses. 7:30 a.m. Gladwyne INFO. [view more events]

Philly Beer week is already raging (if the PBC truck at Liberty Lands park on Saturday was any indication), and there’s some great technology events around town, too. Grab a beer. Head on over to one of the community happenings. And do a night cap from your favorite local brewery.

This week, Twitter’s in town, there’s fun to be had at Agile Philly’s hack night and there’s an evening dedicated to process improvement. We’d make fun of that, but geez, we love productivity as much as the next guy.

Social media has been getting a bad rap lately thanks to Twitter-organized mobs, but that shouldn’t stop you from attending our social media-heavy event schedule this week.
