📲 Phones were out, contacts were being saved, and conversations gave us plenty to follow up on at our exclusive #dcstw26 speaker sponsor partner happy hour! 🍸

The community said it best: “People weren’t just swapping business cards; they were genuinely showing up for each other.” Another attendee described DCSTW as “a massive ecosystem that actively supports each other’s growth.”

Thank you to our host sponsor, @versusequity, for the incredible rooftop views and Capitol Hill vibes that set the scene for a fantastic evening!

That’s the energy we’re bringing into a week of learning, pitches, and opportunities to find capital, customers, and resources.

💐 Let’s give Rachel Koretsky and Darius Clair their flowers as they get ready to launch #DCSTW26, the largest innovation and tech conference in the Mid-Atlantic region!

Last night’s Speaker, Sponsor & Partner Happy Hour showed what their vision brings to life. Pongsri Dempsey surprised them with flowers, and the community shared why DCSTW matters:

→ “Every conversation had purpose.”
→ “New faces felt like old friends, and old relationships felt richer than ever.”
→ “A massive ecosystem that actively supports each other’s growth.”

Thank you to host sponsor @versusequity and our speakers, sponsors, and partners for making this community possible.

📅 10 days to go! Join us October 19–23, 2026, across Washington, DC + DMV.
