This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 3-14

I'm impressed the by amazing range of events happening this week in Philadelphia. There's a Nanotoxicology Workshop this week, which has been one of the most popular events on the Basecamp Business Calendar for months now. Grant Thornton and Pepper Hamilton are holding a session on "Getting Ready for an IPO." Blake Jenelle is kicking off his Missionpreneurs project with a "Mission Mob" happy hour. There are events on livable communities, sustainable cities, social impact, and cleantech companies to watch. Magic Johnson is in town, and you can learn how to make kinetic sculpture.

You may notice that I've added a new feature to the sidebar of the FunWithNetworking blog:  a mini calendar that leads back to the Basecamp Business Calendar.  This is the world premiere of the new Basecamp Business mini-widgets, little tools that are meant to be embedded in any blog or web site to show hot or significant upcoming events.

So, these new widgets will keep you up-to-date with what's going on around Philadelphia.  You can read about this week's events here, or you can look to the future by exploring the Calendar.
