Thank you all for making this such a great event. We’ll be announcing Twin Tech III sometime soon (it will take place in January most likely).

In the meantime, the next big event you’ll want to hit is InterAct2008 where Peter Corbett will be broadcasting live for two days on 9/29 and 9/30. Also, the next big tech community meet-up is Tech Cocktail DC 3 on 10/3 and you can always find all the crucial niche meetups that make this whole startup/tech ecology work at DC Tech Events.
