The perception of Washington, D.C. is not the reality of D.C. We have green grass, and big trees, and several blue ribbon elementary schools and we are more than a one-or-two-industry-wonder, thanks to technology and a vibrant new start-up scene.

Digital Capital Week will be filled with technologists, creatives, govies, entrepreneurs, social media enthusiasts and others from across the greater DC area.

What happens when you bring together over 5,000 registered attendees to learn about how technology, social media and entrepreneurship are bringing much-needed innovation to D.C.?

This coming Friday night is the DCWEEK Opening Party sponsored by Palantir, which kicks off Digital Capital Week, a festival focused on technology, innovation and all things digital.
