AOL & GWU Tech Talks

Interact with local technologists, GWU professors and students, and global executives! And yes, there will be lunch but it will go fast -- first come, first serve!

AOL, Inc. and George Washington University Professor Elias G. Carayannis collaborated to bring forward a new professional speaker series for local DC/NoVA technology community.
