Events

Here below is a list of tech and society-related events around the Washington, D.C. area. Feel free to contribute to this list by emailing myself (trevisan [at] american.edu) or Bobby (bobbyrdonoso [at] gmail.com) about any other relevant events you know about. Attend one of these events and file your event report on this blog within the following week. For all-day events, you are welcome to choose the session that interests you the most and report back on that one only. While it is good to attend events in person, many of these events provide online video streaming (live or recorded) in case you are unable to make the time/place due to other commitments.
