TECH Cocktail During DC Week Rocked – Event Pics & Wrap Up

With Digital Capital Week upon us, last night was a great time for the huge (and growing!) DC tech community to come together for Tech Cocktail.  As with previous Tech Cocktail events, this event was billed as a time for us all to “connect, educate and amplify” the local tech signal all while having a few drinks.  A number of startups also put on demos on the second floor of the party at Lux Lounge.  The great thing about this Tech Cocktail compared to others as it took place right in the middle of the first ever DC Tech Week.  DC Tech Week has been a week full of great tech related activities dealing with a whole range of issues from social media, government, future of media to a bunch of cool tech events, lectures even a 140Conference too.  It was also cool to have the backdrop of the World Cup going on too.

Here some of the pictures from last night.  The event got off to a great start and kept rolling.  There just was not enough time to talk to everyone, but it was great to see so many friends and meet a bunch of new people too.  I brought the KikScore force for our east coast team last night as our Colorado team will have to wait for the next one in Boulder.

There have been Tech Cocktail events now in Chicago, DC, Boston, Boulder, San Diego (look out Ron Burgundy) and Barcelona. So look out for one of these events coming to your city soon.  You will not regret attending. Thanks to Frank Gruber, the founder of Tech Cocktail, for putting on last night’s event.

Digital Capital Week & World Cup Start Tomorrow – Are You Going?

So tomorrow begins the once every four year madness of the World Cup. The 2010 World Cup will be played in South Africa and should be a blast if you are attending it.  For DC folks, on Saturday the first game that the US plays in against England will actually be broadcast live from Dupont Circle – they are calling it Soccer in the Circle – brought to you by the same folks that had the epic snowball fight back in February during the massive blizzard.  I will be there on Saturday afternoon.  It should be a packed house there for a great game.

About 12 hours after the World Cup literally kicks off tomorrow, the first ever DC Digital Capital Week gets rolling in Washington DC.  This more than a week long event is being billed as 10 days of Creative Technology Events.  There are some fantastic tech events that include Zappos.com CEO, Tony Hsieh a #140 Conference by Jeff Pulver, a large Tech Cocktail event and much much more. Check out the full schedule here.

I will be attending some of the DC Week events over the next week and am really excited.  Stay tuned for our updates on Twitter and here on our blog.

Which events will you be attending?
