Online Webinar

A correct invoice and a payable invoice aren't always the same thing — and the gap between them is one of the most common pitfalls federal contractors run into, even when the work itself was done right. In this session, we'll cover the invoicing mistakes that actually slow government payment: missing fields that make an invoice improper, billing subcontractor costs before required consent arrives, and unreconciled costs that follow you for the life of the contract. You'll leave with a practical review process for catching these issues before they cost you a payment cycle.

Bestselling author Caroline Chambers is a mom of four young boys and a Substack recipe developer who famously doesn’t feel like cooking—and she’s built a whole brand on that premise. Her third book, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast, is the ultimate guide to making easy, crowd-pleasing dinners in under 30 minutes.
Focused on eliminating unnecessary steps, minimizing dirty dishes, and making dinnertime as accessible as possible, the cookbook features 100 stress-free dinner recipes—all of which are complete meals—with no more than half-an-hour hands-on time in the kitchen. In the “15 Minutes” and “30 Minutes” chapters, make dishes such as flank steak with elote salsa and fish and veggie curry. Recipes in the “Walk Away” chapter are perfect for the home-chef who’s busy but not in a rush, so they can let rotisserie-ish chicken with schmaltzy lemon dressing roast while folding a pile of laundry. Every recipe features Chambers’ signature swaps, riffs, tips, and shortcuts to empower the home chef to make the recipes work for them.Chambers will be in conversation with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kerrybombe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Kerry Diamond</a>, the Founder and Editor of Cherry Bombe, a media company celebrating women and cool creatives in the world of food &amp; drink. Diamond also hosts the podcast&nbsp;“Radio Cherry Bombe.”
All books will be pre-signed by the author. A limited number of tickets include access to a post-event signing for those who would like their name added to their book.

Four storytellers. Four stories. Three are true. One is a lie. Can you spot the liar? Welcome to Perfect Liars Club—a night of hilarious storytelling, bold lies, and audience sleuthing. At each show, four people take the stage to tell wildly entertaining, hard-to-believe stories. Three are true. One is complete fiction. When the storytelling ends, the interrogation begins: the audience cross-examines the performers, pokes holes in their logic, and hunts for clues. Everyone votes for who they think the liar is—and then braces for the shocking reveal. Since 2013, Perfect Liars Club has outwitted DC audiences, confounded skeptics, exposed overconfidence, and gleefully fooled the city’s know-it-alls. It’s smart, funny, and trickier than it sounds. You’ll leave entertained, suspicious, and probably a little bit humbled. Think you can spot the liar? Come prove it. Bragging rights are on the line.

Anirban Dasgupta’s "Player" reimagines comedy as a sport. Anirban’s childhood dream was to become a sports person. But instead of MetLife, he ended up at Soho Playhouse. Clearly it didn’t work out. As he rethinks the rules of adulthood, Anirban asks whether everything, from comedy to parenting, might just be a game. The show unfolds as an immersive stand-up match played with the audience, where each joke is scored and the contest continues until the final punchline. With yellow cards, half-time pep talks, trash talking, and shirt swapping, the audience becomes part of the action, left debating scores and outcomes as the show goes down to the wire.

Conflict Resolution Support for Families and Organizations

Rogers Resolution Services

Hi, I'm Shelby! I’m a local mediator who helps neighbors resolve family, relationship, and workplace conflicts in a calm, structured way. Through my small business, Rogers Resolution Services, I offer mediation and conflict-resolution support tailored to your unique needs and help guide people through difficult conversations. I work primarily with co-parents, partners, relatives, roommates, and teams who need help talking through decisions, routines, boundaries, or recurring disagreements. I also support workplaces and community groups facing communication challenges or breakdowns. My role is neutral. I don’t give legal advice or take sides. I facilitate conversations, de-escalate tense situations, and help people reach practical and maintainable agreements they can feel comfortable with.
