Just in time for Confab Higher Ed 2016: eCity’s Guide to Philly

Confab Higher Ed is coming to Philly, and we've got a guide to the city you can't find on TripAdvisor.

It’s almost here! Confab Higher Ed is coming to Philly next week (tickets still available), and we couldn’t be more excited to meet up with the best in the industry to talk content strategy in the city we’re lucky to call home. We’re as nerdy about content strategy and content marketing as they come, so we’ll be attending as many keynotes, workshops, and breakout sessions as humanly possible in the course of three days. And as conference veterans and Philadelphia locals, we won’t be wasting any time worrying about where to stop for food and drinks in between all the furious note-taking and networking. We’ve got it all mapped out.

Instead of keeping all this insider knowledge to ourselves (like where to go if you really want the best cheesesteak in the city), we’ve decided to roll out the welcome mat and create a guide composed of our favorite local spots for dinner, drinks, and dessert. We’ve listed our favorite sandwich shops and restaurants, the perfect place for beer, whiskey, and everything in between, and the best spots to satisfy your sweet tooth. Here’s what we didn’t include in this guide: national landmarks, chain restaurants, and suggestions you’re just as likely to find on TripAdvisor.

Of course, we’re more than just food and drink connoisseurs. We also pride ourselves on helping higher education institutions find digital solutions to impact the things that matter most to them. If you’re attending Confab Higher Ed, we hope you’ll find our Guide to Philadelphia helpful. We’re looking forward to meeting you next week and learning more about the challenges facing the higher ed content marketing community today. We sincerely hope you enjoy your stay in the City of Brotherly Love, and we’ll see you around town!
