It all started with a Washington Post article:
The post in question was a Washington Post blog article titled "Washington's Twin Tech Towns". It described that while the Northern Virginia Tech Council (NVTC) was having their "Hot Ticket Awards" event at a beautiful house in McLean with 300 people from the "Old Guard" of technology integrators and government contracting firms, in DC at a hip club in Dupont Circle there were a different group of 300 "New Guard" people from the Social Media and Web 2.0 scene there to meet well-known Web guys Gary Vaynerchuk and Robert Scoble.
On July 17th, the Northern Virginia Technology Council and iStrategyLabs hosted The Twin Tech Party, covered here, that surpised everyone with over 700 people jamming into a venue in DC with lots of beer and networking that never would have happened anywhere else.
This occasion marked by the coming together of about 700 of the Capital Region's emerging tech stars and veteran entrepreneurs.
A full recap of the coverage including links to Twin Tech I photos and videos can be found here.
With that kind of success everyone wanted him to do another, so Peter has complied and is proud to announce Twin Tech II:
It's our pleasure to announce that Twin Tech II will be held on September 18th, 2008 from 6pm to 9pm.
The format remains the same: the brightest minds in the tech/venture space will be on hand to mix and mingle with one another during a happy hour style meet-up. An open bar will be made available through the generosity of our sponsors.
Please make sure to RSVP now as you'll need to be on the list to get in and we will most likely run out of room. Twin Tech I had 800 RSVPs and we could only accommodate 610. Connect with your fellow Twin Tech attendees here on Facebook.
When:
Thursday, September 18th, from 6:00pm-9pm
Where:
At Avenue on New York and 7th (Chinatown) [Map]. Gallery Place and Convention Center metro stops are just blocks away, parking is available across the street, and valet service will be on-site as well.
Sign up before this one sells out too. It is going to be an awesome event and we will have coverage and interviews from the event afterward.
