In the midst of the concerts, block parties, talks, and creative expos, Tom Tom is proud to host a social hour at Old Metropolitan Hall promotes interaction with the local technology firms putting us on the map.

Finally, enjoy craft beer from our festival sponsors New Belgium Brewing and, official Virginia brewer, Wild Wolf Brewing.
