This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 5-31

I must apologize for missing last week.  I was away on a much-needed vacation, and sometime Wednesday I suddenly thought, "Hey, I didn't do a This Week in Philadelphia on Sunday!"  It was a shame, too, because there was a lot going on last week.  I do hope you took a look at the Basecamp Business Calendar (see the link at the top of the blog) to make your plans.

Some big events this week, what with the 2010 Entrepreneur Conference and the MAC Alliance Luncheon. There's also the Bennie Awards, the Governor’s Entrepreneurial Business Conference down in Delaware, a nice kick-off to Philly Beer Week down at the Chemical Heritage Foundation.
