An event focused on authentic conversation about the state of business in our nation’s capital, and moreover, a look at where things are headed. Who is making an impact? What are they doing? How are they doing it?
Guests will enjoy networking with a fast-paced, in-depth expert panel focusing on what's to come in D.C. in tech, education, government/policy, and student innovation.
