Meet Our 2014 TechProm Kings and Queens

It is hard to believe #TechProm is just over a month away. Given all of the work our team has put into the preparations, as well as a few other news items both internal (New CEO! Noteworthy venue change!) and external (NSA anyone?), it seems like we’ve been getting ready for #TechProm for a while now – we are ready!

Here’s a HUGE shout out to the companies, individuals and organizations that have already committed to supporting this event. You are our Kings and Queens. Your generosity is helping kick-off CDT’s 20th anniversary year in grand fashion. Without this incredible network of support, CDT would not be able to host the best darn tech policy party of the year.

We’re keeping our program tightly focused on friends and family this year, with comments from our founder Jerry Berman, our most recent President and CEO Leslie Harris, and the newest member of the CDT family, Nuala O’Connor. We want you to join us. If you still need to register or want to sponsor a table, either contact me at [email protected] or go online to www.cdt.org/techprom to find out more.

Our royal committee of #TechProm Kings and Queens is growing daily, and we look forward to adding you to the list. TechProm 2014 is Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. See you there!
