SXSW 2020 has been cancelled in order to ensure public health and safety.
While PCI is saddened we cannot highlight our startups and innovation assets like the Pennovation Center with the larger technology and innovation community in Austin, we hope to work with Amplify Philly and other groups to bring attention to these companies soon.
