our story
DC ConnX (formerly DC Connections) started in June, 2017 at Dirt Farm Brewing in Loudoun County, Virginia as an informal gathering of 6 data center professionals and friends with a common interest; everyone was connected to the largest data center market in the world (Ashburn, VA) and enjoy social discussions on data centers, technology and great craft brews.
​​
Allen Tucker discussed his vision with Valerie, his wife and a few close friends. The decision was unanimous to continue to gatherings monthly. Allen, Valerie and with a few key friends, continues this tradition of informal monthly meetings at a Breweries, Wineries, or other Venue for the purpose of enhancing business and social connections, networking, and exchanging ideas. The size of the DC ConnX events grew to regular meetings of 100+ to nearly 700 professionals attending DC ConnX Annual Concert.
