Cloudforce Essentials Philadelphia, a locally oriented version of the Salesforce.com expo, will be held on Tuesday, January 15 at the Hyatt at The Bellevue from 9 am to 2 pm. You can register for the event here.

Its an excellent opportunity to catch up on the latest news from Salesforce.com, meet with local vendors and clients, and see demos from Salesforce.com partners. There will be a keynote on the future of cloud computing and the socially connected enterprise with Salesforce.com leaders, and you will hear how area companies such as Comcast and IMS Health are using Salesforce.com.

Following the event, local Force.com developer group PhillyForce will hold a meetup at 1:30 at McGillin's Olde Ale House on Drury Street in Philadelphia. Salesforce.com Developer Evangelist Reid Carlberg will be there to discuss how developers can use new AppExhange features to monetize their Force.com apps.

"As Salesforce.com continues to expand their platform offerings and ecosystem, this is a great opportunity for our diverse Philadelphia developer community to see the latest Force.com and Heroku technology," said Matthew Botos, Force.com MVP and co-organizer of the PhillyForce group.

Also, tonight (Monday the 14th) from 6 to 8pm cloud technology companies and Salesforce partners Concur and Summa will hold a Cloudforce networking happy hour at Ladder 15 on Sansom Street.

Also worth checking out is a new group that's been getting off the ground, the Philly Enterprise Software Meetup, scheduled for tomorrow evening at 6:30 at Seed Philly. Chris Erb, an attorney with the Erb Law Firm, will discuss the legal environment of Enterprise SaaS solutions.

Another big event this week is the grand opening party for the new, much larger NextFab Studio on Washington Avenue. It will begin 6pm on Thursday the 17th.
