Capital Comment: DC 2.0, a Bi-Partisan Inauguration

Dion Hinchcliffe captured some great pictures at the DC 2.0 event last night, which was our first get together.

Here’s the poster, showing the hosts — Dion, Jonathan Aberman of Amplifier Venture Partners, and me (Ken Yarmosh was out of town, although one of the organizers) — and the various companies presenting: Blogdigger, CollectiveX, Near-Time, SMBLive, x:posted, and ZiWiki. We were hosted by Mintz Levin, who provided a wonderful facility.

Here’s Greg Narain, of SyncPeople, who demoed x:posted, about which I wrote last week.

We all had a great time, the demos were great (I will be posting about those over the next few days), and everyone is excited that the DC Web 2.0 community has found a common ground where we can come together. We filled the room with 50+ people, and we had to turn awy a few latecomer companies who wanted to demo. We are already planning a full day event for late May or early June, probably a fusion of ‘BarCamp’ morning, a more traditional conference style afternoon, and an evening cocktail party. More to follow right away!
