The event will take place on Monday night at 8:30pm (after the Great Gathering In) at the Holiday Inn Capitol in Washington, D.C. This year, we are rebranding our event and moving away from NABS Caf?, so we would like to expand our audience and have a relaxing night for everyone, as opposed to students only. To that effect, we would love to see you at the event!

A concert will take place, featuring Federationist David Amaya, and the lovely Patti Chang will also be giving introductory Salsa lessons for all interested attendees. In addition, we will be hosting one of the largest auctions to date, featuring amazing items such as: an iPad mini, an Amazon Fire TV Cube, a Bath and Body Works Gift Basket, a subscription to KNFB Reader, and much more. You won?t want to miss this fun-filled evening of networking, dancing, and everything in between!
