Spring weather hit the District this weekend with two downright beautiful days, and it looks like our luck will last through the week with highs in the 50’s or above through Friday. If you can resist the temptation of hitting the park or an outdoor deck for happy hour after work, come out for a couple of the tech events happening around the city this week.

Here’s a look at the meetups that caught our eye. You can find a full listing of the tech events happening in Washington, DC at DC Tech Events.
