On January 22nd we celebrated the creation of our new organization by gathering up some of the most talented, innovative people in the DC digital community and threw a party!
Unlike some of our other events, there were no panels and no moderators. Just a wonderful space, beautifully stocked bar, and delicious snacks thanks to Kerry Gunther of nclud design, and the good people at RidescoutDC.
How Digital District evolved from DC Social Media Club
Our founders, Alex Stevens and Elliot Volkman, entertained the crowd with the story of Digital District’s inception and took this opportunity to explain the mission of our organization:
Digital District works with community innovators to educate our peers, foster increased creativity and encourage participation in the digital sphere.
In the past our organization focused entirely on social media; however, with our new mission we plan to improve digital literacy throughout DC. We’ll be doing this by continuing to host panel, Web, and networking events, as well as some special programs. To learn more about Digital District and becoming a professional member, see our membership page.
Thank you everyone who braved the Polar Vortex and came to celebrate with us!
