After hours at Wonk Week
Wonk hard.
Play hard.
Three nights in DC before the Summit. Trivia, over-the-top slide decks, and a fair share of beer — all free to attend, all built for the people who actually do this work.
Monday
October 5
Political Trivia Night
Trivia starts at 7:00 PM
Questions are all about politics in 2026 and the history behind it — elections, key legislation, and the power players in Washington and across the US. Finally get rewarded for all that doomscrolling. The winner takes home the Political Trivia Belt.
Tuesday
October 6
PowerPoint Night
PowerPoints start at 7:00 PM
Five slides, five minutes, zero shame. Bring a deck about anything — the more unserious the better. The winner takes home a $100 gift card, and everyone whose presentation is accepted and presented gets a $25 gift card. Submit yours below and we'll put you on the slate.
Wednesday
October 7
Wonktoberfest
Steins, pretzels, and public affairs
Free beer, Oktoberfest bites, and a stein holding contest called Masskrugstemmen. Come meet the people you'll be sitting with tomorrow before the Summit even starts.
See you out there
