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. To that end we will hold a Summer Jobs Fair at our next event on August 12th. There are plenty of quality interactive and "new media" positions going begging in the D.C. area, so bring your resume and positive, relaxed summer attitude to 2nd Tuesday on August 12th, and we'll provide the beer and '80s music videos.

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.
