SDR'09 Technical Conference and Product Exposition

SDR ’09 Technology Showcase and Welcome Event

NEW THIS YEAR -- you won't want to miss the Technology Showcase and Welcome Event, sponsored by General Dynamics and featuring demonstrations, dinner and entertainment in the exhibition hall.

Held the evening of Tuesday, December 1, the demonstration sessions with food and refreshments will be followed by awards, dessert and entertainment by The Capitol Steps, a musical political satire group with 29 albums to their name. This will be a great addition to this year's program!

The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them.

In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded 29 albums, including their latest, Obama Mia . They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard 4 times a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials.
