For the 7th consecutive year, DCA Live is pleased to honor a group of DC-area Non Profit CFOs who have made extraordinary contributions to the growth and health of their organizations over the past 12 months in this challenging economic environment.  This group was nominated by their peers in non profit finance and selected for their excellence and leadership.

The broader markets have cooled and the capital flows have slowed but dozens of DC technology ventures remain Red Hot. DC area companies in cybersecurity, big data, fintech, proptech, health care and other sectors continue to grow, attract capital and talent and make incredible progress in their missions to solve our country’s biggest challenges.

For the 8th consecutive year, DCA Live and our partners are excited to recognize the 2023 Red Hot Companies, the Washington region's fastest growing and most exciting companies. We’ll be profiling these companies over the coming weeks and will celebrate them with a lively, fun event on the evening of Thursday, July 13 on the rooftop of Sands Capital in Rosslyn, VA.  

This is the biggest DCA Live event of the year and the biggest DC tech event (we believe) of the summer.

Join us to meet the leaders of these great companies and our community of investors, connectors and advisors to DC Tech and enjoy great views, food, drink and networking.

After a one year hiatus, our Rising Stars of Real Estate event is back!

Come enjoy great food and drink and a chance to meet dozens of leaders from DC's real estate and business community.
