B2B Twitterer of the Year Bash Planned in DC

If you’re in Washington, DC on the evening of February 9th 2010, you may want to come over to Gua Rapo in Arlington to the Capital Cabal networking event from 5:30 to 9:30 pm.  From there we will be tweeting the winners of the 2009 B2B Twitterer of the Year Awards.   There will be a great mix of marketing and tech professionals, so it will be a night to remember.  It’s the best $15 you can spend in Washington.

This video of the most recent Capital Cabal event above was created by @EricaAmerica, aka Erica Anderson, and captures the spirit and opportunity of such an evening.  Look for a cameo by The Marketing Consigliere himself.

The Awards Program is relatively new (of course), so won’t quite have Oscar accessories like red carpet and Armani suited/gowned celebrities.  But it will be fun and is a milestone in the history of Twitter, because with the use of this platform by B2B companies, it is clear that Twitter is “growing up.”

But if you can’t get here from your corner of the globe, feel free to follow @B2BTOTY on Twitter – we’ll be tweeting the winners live from the event so you’ll still be in the loop!

Sponsors, it would behoove to consider sponsoring the program – Capital Cabal events are promoted to 30,000 of Washington’s leading marketers and tech leaders, all with contacts all over the country.  Check out the sponsorship page for more information.
