Crystal City Hosting Tech Cocktail Startup Awards Tomorrow

Disruption Corporation in Crystal City (2231 Crystal Drive, 10th floor) is hosting the annual Tech Cocktail holiday party and all-star award ceremony tomorrow night.

The party will start at 6:00 p.m., end at 8:30 and costs $25 to attend ($35.99 if the guest wants a copy of Startup Mixology by Tech Cocktail’s Frank Gruber). All guests are encouraged to bring canned goods to donate to the Arlington Food Assistance Center.

Hundreds from the D.C. startup scene are expected to be in attendance, and awaiting the announcement of the annual awards. Winners will be named in the following categories:

• Best Design (Product)
• Best Bootstrapped
• Most Innovative Product
• Most Disruptive
• Biggest Pivot
• Best Company Culture
• Most Active in Local Community
• Most Likely to Get Acquired
• Best Social Good Startup
• Best Big Company with Startup Culture
• Most Charismatic or Best Founder(s)/Leader(s)
• Best Community Leader

Several Arlington companies — including Disruption Corporation and its founder, Paul Singh — are nominated for the awards, which are still open for voting here.

There will also be a mixology demonstration and cocktails — naturally — for the occasion. After the event concludes, the remaining guests will migrate just one floor up for a happy hour at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.
