It looks like it will be a beautiful week in Washington, DC with lots of sunshine and more moderate summer temperatures, which is great since this weekend kicks of two great events - Digital Capital Week and of course the World Cup! There are some great events happening late in the week around both, and next week will be a packed one with many technology events organized around Digital Capital Week - the week long festival that celebrates technology through a slew of many and very different events. So check out the technology events happening this week below and the full event calendar at DC Tech Events, and we hope to see you out sometime this week or next!
