This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 3-29

On Thursday, Philly Startup Leaders will be hosting the Entrepreneurs Expo, a great place to see what businesses are being started in Philadelphia and, if you have started a business, to show yours off. I plan to be there myself, demo'ing the Basecamp Business calendar, as entrepreneurs are a key market segment for us.

There are some great meetings this week on how to network better, negotiate better, survive better, get things done better, grow your business better, and even strike out on your own in business.
