PACT held its annual Enterprise Awards IRL this week

"For the first time in about a year and a half, the Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies gathered tech and healthcare innovators from across the region for an in-person event to celebrate the org’s annual Enterprise Awards.

As vaccination rates rise in the region and COVID-19 case counts plummet, PACT gathered nearly 500 attendees on June 29 at Springfield Country Club in Delaware County, a day after the state lifted its mask mandate. The awards were honoring tech and life sciences innovators across the region for their hard work, innovation and growth in the region in the last year.

The move to have a hybrid in-person and virtual event is likely one we’ll see throughout the rest of the year, tourism and hospitality pros told us in June during a panel on how to plan for a safe gathering as the U.S. eases out of the pandemic.

Vertex Inc. and David DeStefano were recognized for the Investment Deal of the Year award for their IPO in July of 2020."
