The Freedom Tech Gala

Built for the occasion.

Beneath a gilded sixty-foot ceiling and a colonnade of stone, the Mellon Auditorium has hosted the defining occasions of the American century, among them the 1949 signing of the North Atlantic Treaty. On September 22, it hosts ours.

An evening among peers.

A night to celebrate freedom technology — and the people building and defending it.

A black-tie cocktail reception rather than a seated dinner. Doors open at 8:00 PM, with open bars and food stations throughout the evening — the fare is on the lighter side, so we recommend dinner beforehand. Formal remarks will be brief. The rest of the night is yours to spend catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
