What to expect

DCD VA: After Hours, Above Capacity is an informal happy hour for the DCD Virginia community. It is meant for people who often see each other at conferences and meetings. The page says there will be no presentations. Attendees can talk shop or not, reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people. Hubbell, IES Communications and TTK Liquid Leak Detection are co-hosting the event as sponsors.

Who should attend

The page does not name a target audience. The co-hosts and the DCD Virginia name point to people working in and around the Northern Virginia data center industry. A founder new to the DMV who is building for data center operators, suppliers or infrastructure buyers could use this to meet people from that community in Loudoun County. Founders outside that space may find it less relevant.
