The Washington Forum invites you to a new kind of gathering — one built on community, curiosity, and connection: COCKTAIL CONNECT+.
Looking for inspiration? Got something cool in the works? Or just want to be part of an intellectually curious crowd?
COCKTAIL CONNECT+ is more than just a Meet & Greet — it’s an evening that includes short, informal SHARES from creative thinkers, founders, artists, and advocates across our community. You’ll hear sparks of work-in-progress: books, films, social ventures, campaigns, and more.
Come to listen. Come to share. Come to spark something new.
Whether you’re a sharer, a sounding board, or just a thoughtful presence, there’s a place for you here.
Pitch your project, give feedback, ask a great question—or just soak it all in.
It’s TED meets town hall, with a side of food, drink and real connection.
