Okay, okay, it’s not really a competition.  Different audiences, different price points, and different dates.  But equally deserving of some DC Concierge love and your attendance!

If you are a tech/telecom policy wonk, than you’ll be heading to the Hinckley Hilton (yes, still under construction) on Dec.10 for the Federal Communications Bar Association’s Annual Chairman’s Dinner… also known as the Telecom Prom.  Check out coverage from Hillicon Valley’s Kim Hart for more on this White House Correspondent’s Dinner for, um, nerds.

You prefer to geek out in a more casual setting?  Nerd Nite is for you.  Coming up on Dec. 5th at DC9 from 6-9pm, you can hit an event that has been dubbed “Discovery Channel with beer.”  Yup, armed with a microphone and their trusty PowerPoint slides, some of the smartest people in DC will prove to be the most interesting. The only requirement is that presentations must be random and absurdly entertaining. And did I mention the beer part?  More info here.
