What we’re about
Connect with and meet others from DC, MD, & VA interested in understanding, using, and enjoying the intersections of technology, social, entrepreneurship, and creativity.
Gather at our events to discuss & learn & improve in areas such as:
- Where the web is now: best practices, trends, technologies, marketing, tools, and sites
- Where the web is going (and where it is not): platforms, meaningful changes for people & uses, and opportunities
More specific area details...
- Marketing:
- social, engagement, measurement, strategy, trends
- Start-ups:
- local, presenting, pitching, funding, planning, executing, talent, launching, including Startup Rockstars events.

- Fun & more: gaming, viral, cool ideas, non-profits, keeping focused, and enjoying it all.
and, sometimes we'll ask AI what happened to web 2.0 and web 3.0?
Our Meetup events are in DC, & around the Metro area (Maryland and Virginia) as membership and locations permit. See our About us page here for more - http://web.meetup.com/59/about/
We have had several great, successful events, and are continuing with more types of high quality events to make these even more fun, useful, and informative. Larger happy hours and smaller discussion groups have worked, and we are also working on new ideas for upcoming events.
Over 1,500 people have joined up since 2007, and we've enjoyed over 100 events!

AI continues to evolve and the latest trend is context engineering. AI context engineering is an emerging discipline that extends beyond crafting individual prompts to architecting the entire informational environment for large language models (LLMs). Rather than focusing solely on the immediate instruction, context engineering involves designing dynamic systems that supply the right data, tools, and formatting at the optimal moment to enable LLMs to perform complex tasks accurately and reliably.
If you're wondering how AI context engineering can be transformative for your job, business, or career, this 60-minute webinar by AI expert Eric Forst will show you how. You'll discover:
- What AI context engineering is and why it's the next step from Generative AI
- How AI context engineering can boost productivity and operations
- Why mastering AI context engineering will be a boost to your career
- How you can build custom GPTs with an AI context engineering mindset
- And so much more!
Learn how AI is evolving and what your role in it can be. Spots are limited—register now and take the first step toward AI mastery!
We'll also be sharing an upcoming 3-hour, online boot camp where we'll dive in-depth into building custom GPTs for your business or career with AI context engineering. There's something for everyone, whether you work at a corporation, are founding a startup, or want to learn a new skill.
About the Speaker:
Eric Forst is an entrepreneur, marketer, and educator with over 20 years of experience.
