The Washington Post recently profiled the evolving nature of the Washington, D.C. party scene as discussed at the Elevate conference for Washington event planners. Our own David Adler was feted in the Style section cover story.

“Nobody’s an attendee anymore,” says David Adler, founder of BizBash, the events media company that hosted the conference. “You’re all participants — whether you like it or not.”

The article by Roxanne Roberts explains how “the old formula of cocktails, dinner and endless speeches is giving way to artisanal menus, designer mixologists and charging stations. Plus hashtags, live Instagram feeds and anything else that will transform another boring evening into a talker.”

BizBash Political Fund-Raising Primer

April 6, 2010 By WHC Insider

The changing landscape of political fund-raising was the focus of the inaugural BizBash Media Eye Opener Breakfast Series discussion. CBS News’ Nancy Cordes moderated the panel that included The Ashcroft Group’s Juleanna Glover, Hillary Clinton’s former National Finance Director Jonathan Mantz, Wiley Rein’s Jan Baran and Lisa Spies from The LS Group.

Stephen Geer, who successfully helped raise some $500 million online during the 2008 presidential campaign as Director of Email and Online Fund-Raising at Obama for America, says Twitter will be a powerful fund-raising tool in the future but will never replace email.
