We hope everyone had a very happy 4th of July yesterday filled with good times with friends and family, delicious barbecues, and of course fireworks. With much of the city celebrating the holiday with a short work week, it’s no surprise that the pickings for technology events this week are slim. Below are a few events that caught our eye, and there’s a complete - though still small - list of all technology events happening in Washington, DC over at DC Tech Events. Have a great week!
