Dear
Washingtonians,
It's almost that time of year again - time to shine the spotlight on our city's movement makers, equity builders, barrier breakers, and knowledge seekers. During our fourth annual innoMAYtion, we'll celebrate the men and women who have helped transform Washington, DC into the capital of inclusive innovation and the number one city for women in tech. We'll bring together the innovators and creatives whose passion and creativity have become some of our city's greatest strengths.
On Wednesday, May 2, innoMAYtion will kick off with a discussion on how technology is changing everyday lives and how women are shaping the future of tech. Throughout the month, we'll host a series of networking events, workshops, hackathons, and more that highlight ways technology and innovation have already been used to build a more inclusive city and how we can continue working together to solve longstanding civic challenges.
We'll also use innoMAYtion to share the stories of everyday innovators in the District. From technologists to teachers to CEOs to artists, our city has no shortage of innovators and we want their stories and ideas known. If you're an innovator in DC, tell us your story.
Thank you for keeping Washington, DC at the forefront of innovation. Let's keep moving forward.
Sincerely,
