Since 2005 The Capital Cabal has produced a monthly networking event where D.C. area "new media" professionals gather to meet, share war stories, swap schemes, hire talented professionals, schmooze, invest, find investments, kick-off a job search or just relax with other digerati. We average over 100 Internet and business savvy attendees from government agencies, political organizations, web-based businesses, advertising agencies, PR firms, not-for-profit organizations, associations and the private sector.

For some honest feeback, click here to see what the folks at Sachi Studio have to say about 2nd Tuesday. We also recently received a nice write-up from the people at WhyGoSolo.com.

While there is no set program for 2nd Tuesday, one unofficial theme that has evolved over time, in additional to good old-fashioned business development, is jobs and employment: people coming to hire and to be hired. We have now added the theme of funding to the mix: those looking to invest talking to those looking for investment. To that end represtatives from the funding community have been attending 2nd Tuesday to have informal yet informative conversations with "Web 2.0" entrepreneurs and other start-up professionals.

On May 5th representatives from Amplifier Ventures and Edison Venture Fund will attend for some informal networking. Click here to see the types of companies that match their investment opportunity portfolios.

No reservations are necessary to attend 2nd Tuesday, but as always a quick RSVP email to info@capcabal.net is appreciated, or call 202-236-0344 with questions or suggestions. If you can't make the next event, be sure to join our mailing list and receive updates and announcements of other Capital Cabal activities. We do not sell, lend or rent out your contact information.
