Chic Geeks? Why Yes!
Ever wonder what would happen if Microsoft and Bloomingdale’s collide? We’ve got you covered! Geeks get chic this November 8th as successful, innovative tech-savvy men from the private and public sectors are transformed into fashion models for one night to raise funds for the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE).
“Every participant in Geek 2 Chic, whether from the private or public sector, knows that high-quality mentorship and a sense of entrepreneurship have been critical in making them the successes they are today,” said Dr. Mark Drapeau, Executive Producer of the event and member of Microsoft’s Office of Civic Innovation. “The ‘geeks’ we’ve chosen from organizations like Facebook, Twitter, the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and a bevy of hot startup companies exemplify these qualities and each are proud to walk the runway to raise awareness and funds for NFTE.”
An official event of DC Digital Capital Week which is taking over the city from November 4 – 11, Geek 2 Chic will include a cocktail hour with the latest tech from the Microsoft Store, a formal runway show, and an invitation-only after party at L2 co-presented by TechCocktail.com.
