At TechBash we inspire our attendees to build remarkable things that will change the world. We’ve built a safe, welcoming, and exciting environment that is designed for everyone to get the most out of the event. Our attendee lounge will have plenty of space for you to hang out and talk with old friends and make new ones. Speakers, attendees, and sponsors will gather in the lounge between sessions, sharing coffee, snacks, and ideas.
Our venue, the Kalahari Resort, is cool. It is a recently expanded resort, conference center, and 220,000 sq. ft. indoor water park, the largest in the Northeast U.S. The Kalahari is in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, less than a 2-hour drive from New York City, Philadelphia, and northern NJ. This location is still within reasonable driving distance of many other cities in the northeast. We look forward to seeing you there!

Speaker benefits include up to two nights paid in a standard room at the Kalahari Resort, a speaker gift, a free ticket to the conference (including all attendee swag, meals, and snacks). Speakers who present a workshop and additional breakout sessions can request a third night of hotel coverage. Breakfast and lunch are provided each day of the conference for all attendees.
We do not offer a private speaker lounge at TechBash. We encourage our speakers to hang out with other attendees in our spacious, comfortable attendee lounge. If you need a quiet space to prepare for your talk or get some work done, the Kalahari guest rooms are adjacent to the convention center.
