*Details: *This event will pit eight community leaders against each other in a tournament-style debate where they will tackle controversial issues involving the technology community in Washington. Each debater's position will be determined by coin flip -- candidates must be prepared to discuss either side of an issue whether they agree to it or not! The audience will vote to advance candidates to the next rounds, and they will be fueled by local libations, food, and season's cheer!
