Social Matchbox DC is Tonight

Looking to do some networking tonight in D.C.? Social Matchbox DC is the event you should attend. The event is an open mic hiring event for local startups. The event is three hours long with two hours of networking and an hour of startup introductions. The event tonight has a whole slew of startups including: TinselVision, ClearSpring, MobilePosse, Razoo, Webs.com, Intridea, FolioFN, ThreeSpot, Hungry Machine, Investors Without Borders, WhyGoSolo, Siteworx, Viget Labs, Zadby, Positive Energy, comScore, Publi.us, Loladex, FamilyOven, 100dimensions, Qloud, nClud, xyoom, BrowserMedia, Ozmosis, Searchles, and more!

This event is sure to be jam packed with web professionals from around the area. This is a reverse take on the Ignite events which have been popularized out west. Companies that are looking to hire are limited to 2-3 minutes for verbal presentations and 3-5 minutes for presentations with audio and visual elements. It’s a great opportunity to find potential job seekers and also a great opportunity to find out more about the numerous local companies that are active in the web industry.

The event is being held at TeqCorner, a community office center for technology companies based out in Tysons corner. I highly recommend the event and am hoping to actually show up later in the evening tonight. If you want to attend go register via the Social Matchbox DC registration form.
