I was totally excited when I saw the invite for this one pop in the inbox the other day from Peter Corbett of iStrategyLabs. It is fresh on the heels of the Scoble and Vaynerchuk event last week at 1223. That was supposed to bring a cross section of the local tech community out, but as we saw later from a post in the WashingtonBiz Blog of the Washington Post, there is still a divide between the two cultures.
So Peter has taken the next step: bring those two worlds together and see the sparks fly.
It’s ‘very special’ because we’re going to bringing together what the Washington Post has called “Washington’s Twin Tech Towns”. You can read what the Post has said here and here
By mixing together the so called ‘new tech’ crowd with veterans in the industry, we think sparks will fly: deals will get done, startups will get funded, partners will meet, companies will find talent and our tech ecosystem will become stronger as a result.
We’re happy to have the support of the Northern Virginia Technology Council in bridging that gap.
I am really excited about this and I hope all of you are as well. GO HERE TO REGISTER to make sure you get in !
Here are the details thus far:
What:
The Potomac Region’s technology community keeps growing and innovating with each passing day. Keep the pace by grabbing a drink with the leaders in broader technology community: do a deal, find some talent, or just hang with your friends on July 17th at TBD location in the metro area.
Please make sure to RSVP now as you’ll need to be on the list to get in and we may run out of room!
When:
Thursday, July 17th, from 6:00pm-9pm
Where:
More than likely a bar/lounge with a roof top (TBD based on RSVPs)
