Media Future Now will make its triumphant Fall return to the starved new media environment that is our nation’s capital for a special evening event on MONDAY OCTOBER 19th at the New America Foundation, 1899 L St, NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20036 (Farragut North and Farragut West metros), at 5:30pm. Refreshments of the happy hour variety (and varietals) may be served.
