Karen,

Generally speaking Center City, the area you’ll be walking in, is one of the safest parts of Philly—as Walt said there will be  people on the streets and lots of open bars and restaurants.  It’s a big city so not devoid of crime but I don’t think you could ask for a safer part of the city.  

Lyft, Uber and a cab would be also very easy to get from the location of the meeting but I don’t think that’s necessary—philly’s a great walking city, one of the best.
