High-Tech & Hollywood Host Obama Parties
Washington, D.C. will be abuzz with inauguration-related parties and other events from Jan. 15 through President-elect Barack Obama's Jan. 20 swearing in. Amid all the political and state society soirees, there's at least one high-tech event: the Bytes & Books Inaugural Ball, which will be held on Inauguration Day at the Folger Shakespeare Library. Sponsorships range from $2,500-$25,000.
The event is presented by the National Coalition for Technology in Education and Training, a group of leading education and industry organizations whose mission is to promote the role of technology in teaching and learning. Also of interest: MTV and ServiceNation "Be The Change" ball at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center and the Creative Coalition's party at the Harmon Center for the Arts (featuring Elvis Costello, Sting and a horde of celebrities).
NationalJournal.com's Under the Influence blog has posted an 11-page round-up of events that is likely circulating throughout the K Street community. Take a peek here. Heard of other tech-related inaugural events? Let us know!
