Since 2005 The Capital Cabal has produced a monthly networking event where D.C. area "new media" professionals gather to meet, share war stories, swap schemes, hire talented professionals, schmooze, invest, find investments, collude, kick-off a job search or just relax with other digerati. We average over 100 Internet and business savvy attendees from government agencies, political organizations, web-based businesses, advertising agencies, PR firms, not-for-profit organizations, associations and the private sector.

The Capital Cabal has a dynamic Facebook page for your scenic pleasure.
