What is Digital Capital Week?

Digital Capital Week (DCWEEK) is a 10 day festival in Washington DC focused on technology, innovation and all things digital in our nation’s capital.

The first 2000 General Admission tickets will be free. Registration is OPEN here.

Modeled after Internet Week NY, Social Media Week, FotoWeek DC, Fringe Festival, etc. — DCWEEK will consist of a series of distributed events produced and hosted by individuals, organizations and community groups.

It’s a time to do the following:

• to learn from others through sessions, keynotes, workshops and panels
• to meet new friends, clients, partners, investors and collaborators
• to focus on the issues that can be addressed in new ways
• to come together to support innovative businesses, people and ideas
• to showcase the DC area as a region for technology, innovation and creativity
• to work on projects that benefit the city and the world
• to experiment with what’s possible
• to have fun at some great parties! (more…)

Thanks to everyone who came out on Friday to discuss neighborhood blogging with Dan Silverman (aka Prince of Petworth) and David Garber (And Now, Anacostia). You guys had some great questions! Thanks to Dan and David for participating and thanks to Sean Peoples for the music. This month we will showcase fashion blogs.

Thanks to EVERYONE who came out to Activation 2719 and showed love to us and No Kings Collective! Also, thanks to DJ Fleg, DJ Smudge and DJ Phil Real for keeping the party going, and to the 11 ARTISTS who gave us a reason to be in the same room together.

It was a truly successful event, and it was great to hang out and meet so many cool (and beautiful) people! Here’s a visual recap of the night. If you coudn’t make it out, we will be having a closing reception as well! Stay tuned.

First off, we have a gallery by Edward Underwood:

We have two great events lined up for this Friday! Part one is our new monthly event: The Art of the Blog_. Each month we invite bloggers, readers and everyone in between to discuss the DC blogosphere, focusing on one blog category a month, followed by drinks and music. This month we are talking neighborhoods, and we have Dan Silverman (Prince of Petworth) and David Garber (And Now, Anacostia). Come out to meet them! Music will be provided by Sean Peoples of FATBACK.

6-8PM

Following The Art of the Blog_, we are partnering up with No Kings Collective (remember Activation 2719?) to bring you the first of a new art event series, the GALLERY at District. Each event serves as an art opening and social, showcasing the works of gallery caliber artists. The inaugural event is also the launch party for No Kings Collective! Mingle and enjoy the work of No Kings Collective, along with drinks. Sean Peoples of FATBACK will stick around and keep the party going!

8-10PM
