ProductCamp DC- Saturday, May 5, 2012 at CustomInk in Tyson’s #pcampdc

The first Product Camp DC was held at the offices of Network Solutions in 2010. It is a unconference and it is FREE. The way Product Camp and pretty much all unconferences work - Attendees and speakers arrive at the conference and add topics they want to talk about or want speakers to talk about. All attendees then get to vote real-time and the organizers create the agenda and the conference begins.

If you are scared to speak in public, going to conferences like this will help you gain confidence. Hope you will consider attending.

When: Saturday, May 5, 2012, 8:30 AM

Where: CustomInk, LLC

7902 Westpark Drive, McLean, VA

“Fishmonger Face-Off” at Whole Foods Market Rockville @ 1 PM April 13th

On April 13 Whole Foods Market’s expert fishmongers will go head-to-head in our first ever “Fishmonger Face-Off” at Whole Foods Market Rockville @ 1 PM. 

• WHAT:           Whole Foods Market’s expert fishmongers will go head-to-head in our first-ever “Fishmonger Face-Off” at Whole Foods Market Rockville. Ten of Whole Foods Market’s top fishmongers from Mid-Atlantic have taken the bait to show off their sharp knives and sharp minds. Who will flounder and who will get battered? The fishmongers will battle it out to de-scale, de-bone, and fillet different varieties of fish in a series of quick-fire challenges and test their “sea-mollier savvy” on sustainable seafood options, recipes, and expert cooking tips. The Whole Foods Market fishmonger who makes the biggest splash will represent Mid-Atlantic at the national Fishmonger Face-Off finals at the Aspen Food & Wine Classic in June.  Friday’s sub-region competition is the final round of three-part series to find the Mid-Atlantic’s regions best fish monger.  
• 
  
• WHEN:           Friday, April, 13, 1 PM
  
• WHERE:         Whole Foods Market Rockville, 11355 Woodglen Drive Rockville, MD
  
• WHY:              Whole Foods Market’s passionate fishmongers are great at helping our shoppers navigate their selections to make the best environmental choices that support healthy oceans and rivers. Our stores feature wild seafood that is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). For wild seafood not MSC-certified, we rely on the color-coded rating system of our partners, Blue Ocean Institute and Monterey Bay Aquarium. This contest gives team members a chance to show off their sharp knives and sharp minds.
• WHO:             Whole Foods Market expert fish mongers showing off their knife skills while filleting and creating yummy seafood dishes. Mongers on the block include:

·         Dan Johnson of Bethesda

·         Elton Briggs of Friendship Heights

·         Lama Chewang of Rockville

·         Malek Sudol of Charlottesville

·         Union Mills of Fair Lakes

·         Miloud Harboussi of Old Town

·         Jay Coleman of Springfield

·         Anna Gracia of Tysons Corner

·         Nick Jackson of Vienna
