The hot, humid weather we had luckily escaped for most of the summer is here, and it’s just plain hot outside with temperatures getting up to 99 degrees today. Why not cool off and learn something by checking out one of the tech events happening – in air conditioned bars and venues – this week? Below are a few events that caught our eye, and you can find a full listing of the week’s events at DC Tech Events.
