What to expect
The October Tech Mixer is an evening networking event hosted by Black Gov Tech, which describes itself as a professional network of tech companies, consulting firms and government agencies in the DC area. The organizers bill it as the last tech mixer of the year, held in a rooftop setting with views of fall foliage in DC. No formal program, agenda or speakers are published on the listing, so expect an open networking format.
Who should attend
The event suits founders and professionals who sell to, work with or want to enter the federal and local government technology market, including people at govtech startups, consulting firms and agencies. For a founder new to the DMV, it is a low commitment way to meet people in the region's government contracting and public sector tech community.
Venue and access
The mixer takes place at 12 Stories, 75 District Square SW, 12th Floor, Washington, DC 20024, at The Wharf. The listing does not give parking details but links to driving, transit, biking and walking directions.
