DC Talks are the brain child of Jason Garber and Jackson Wilkinson and are a series of one day conferences geared towards the dc web community. This first conference, DC Design Talks was geared towards interactive designers and if this one was any indication, the rest should be a huge success. Next up (this spring) is supposedly the developer talks which I'm eagerly looking forward to. Following that, I think they're talking marketing and strategy.
The design talks brought together some of the great talents in the region as speakers at the event. All nine speakers did an excellent job presenting. While my primary role is not a designer since I'm often working translating the designs to code, I think the conference provided me with great insight into the work of designers and gave me a lot of things to think about when implementing designs. As always, it was great to hang out with members of the dc web/tech community -- an inspiring group.
Congratulations to Jason and Jackson for putting on a successful event!

I'm bummed I missed it. I was out of town. I look forward to seeing their next event.
I just discovered your blog via your facebook page. I wasn't aware of DC Design Talks, but am definitely going to be keeping an eye out for future meetings. This is terrific. Thanks for sharing.
Hey! Great to hear from you! Check out the DC Technology Network on Ning (http://dctechnology.ning.com/). It's a good way to keep an eye on what's going on in the area.
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check it out.
