Few people know that historic canals were critical to the growth of Washington D.C. in the early 19th century. These canals include the Washington City Canal, the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Canal and the Alexandria Canal. This bike/scooter tour explores the historic canals, canal boats, locks, and lockkeeper houses - and the people who built and used this incredible transportation infrastructure. Bring your own bike/scooter - safety helmets are required. If you choose to rent a bike, there is a Capital Bikeshare docking station at our meeting point (more info about Capital Bikeshare in the FAQ section below). The ride is about 7 miles (11 kilometers) on flat ground and takes about 2 hours. Here are the highlights of our tour: From our meeting point, it is a very short ride to the Navy Yard Terminus of the historic Washington City Canal . From there we proceed as closely as possible along the path of the historic canal. We stop at Canal Park , a three-block stretch of 2nd St. SE which has several interpretive signs and historic photographs. From Canal Park, we ride around a section of the original path of the historic canal which was overtaken by what is now the Southeast Freeway (Interstate 695) and CSX railway. Along this detour we make a surprise stop at a place that predates the historic canal. Back on our bikes/scooters, we return to the historic path of the Washington City Canal on what is now Canal St. SE and ride to the Lockkeepers House. Along the way, we see the Washington City Canal memorialized at Freedom Plaza . Then we make a brief stop to see artifacts of the historic Washington City Canal discovered when the National Museum of African American History was under construction. At the Lockkeeper's House you will learn the history of the house as well as the massive project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to create West Potomac Park and East Potomac Park. After departing the Lockkeeper's House, we ride along a route approximating the path of the C&O Canal Extension to C&O Canal Mile 0 , a stone marker at the C&O Canal's southeastern terminus. Here we see the ruins of Tide Lock A that connected the C&O Canal to the Potomac River. From there the final leg of our ride takes us to C&O Canal Lock 4 . There we will see a working lift lock , where a canal packet boat will be docked near the National Park Service's Visitor Center in Georgetown. Legal Disclaimer: By participating in this tour, you agree to: Provide your own bicycle or scooter in good mechanical condition and safety helmet. Obey all traffic laws. Hereby unconditionally RELEASE, WAIVE, and AGREE NOT TO SUE TommyToursDC or any of its employees. Information Source: TommyToursDC | eventbrite

In a time when industries are shifting overnight, jobs are vanishing without warning, and uncertainty hangs in every inbox, resilience is no longer optional—it’s essential . Yet the usual prescriptions, such as cognitive reframing and grit, can feel mentally exhausting, especially when people are already stretched thin. And while tools like mindfulness and meditation have value, many simply don’t have the time or energy to take on another self-improvement task. In this transformative keynote, bestselling author and workplace wellness expert Laura Zam introduces a bold, science-backed approach to navigating volatility: everyday pleasure . Not escapism, but focused, enjoyable rituals—like savoring a morning cup of coffee—that build on things people already do. With small adjustments, these practices help individuals stay grounded, emotionally agile, and connected, even amidst chaos. Drawing from her mother’s story of surviving Auschwitz by holding fast to moments of pleasure —and grounded in research from neuroscience and positive psychology —Laura shares practical tools that help audiences disarm stress, recover from upheaval, and regain a sense of purpose. Whether leading teams through change or rebuilding after a layoff, attendees will leave with simple strategies that make a profound impact. With warmth and clarity, this talk delivers more than inspiration. It offers a mindset shift —turning everyday joy into a strategic advantage. Attend this keynote if you need more than motivation. You need a path forward. Light refreshments will be served. Information Source: Laura Zam | eventbrite

Here's a link to the hotels that are supporting BIG this year with discounted rates. These offer a range of costs to support different travel budgets. We look forward to seeing you in June! A note about ticket prices: Our registration tiers reflect a sliding scale, a tool for establishing economic justice, introduced to us by our partners Point Source Youth. In this registration pricing system, everyone ultimately pays a similar percentage of their individual or organizational income to attend the conference. This scale is about recognizing the privileges and resources that make paid events disproportionately more accessible for groups with higher operating budgets and for individuals with greater wealth. We’re committed to making our conference as accessible as possible. We realize that individuals and communities experience systemic harm and marginalization as a result of long-standing inequities in the US, have been further exacerbated these past few years by a pandemic, political, financial and social upheaval, and a warming planet. We hope that this sliding scale facilitates increased access to this event and serves as an invitation to both think and speak deeply about the societal factors that create such stark disparities in wealth and resources in the US.

Join us for an exciting night with Alan Siegel , as he discusses his new book, S tupid TV, Be More Funny, with Slate's Josh Levin This in-person event will be held at Solid State Books on H St. NE. Don't miss out! This comprehensive account of the meteoric rise of The Simpsons combines incisive pop culture criticism and interviews with the show’s creative team that take readers inside the making of an American phenomenon during its most influential decade, the 1990s. The Simpsons is an American institution. But its status as an occasionally sharp yet ultimately safe sitcom that's still going after 33 years on the air undercuts its revolutionary origins. The early years of the animated series didn't just impact Hollywood, they changed popular culture. It was a show that altered the way we talked around the watercooler, in school hallways, and on the campaign trail, by bridging generations with its comedic sensibility and prescient cultural commentary. In Stupid TV, Be More Funny , writer Alan Siegel reveals how the first decade of the show laid the groundwork for the series' true influence. He explores how the show's rise from 1990 to 1998 intertwined with the supposedly ascendent post-Cold War America, turning Fox into the juggernaut we know today, simultaneously shaking its head at America's culture wars while finding itself in the middle of them. By packing the book with anecdotes from icons like Conan O’Brien and Yeardley Smith, Siegel alaso provides readers with an unparalleled look inside the making of the show. Through interviews with the show's legendary staff and whip-smart analysis, Siegel charts how The Simpsons developed its singular sensibility throughout the ‘90s, one that was at once groundbreakingly subversive for a primetime cartoon and shocking wholesome. The result is a definitive history of The Simpsons ' most essential decade. Los Angeles-based Ringer senior staff writer Alan Siegel specializes in pop culture retrospectives about the making of iconic movies, television shows, and albums. Over the last 10 years, there’s no subject that he’s written about more than The Simpsons . He’s interviewed dozens of the show’s writers, producers, actors, guest stars, and fans for features that are some of his most popular articles. Josh Levin is a writer based in Washington, D.C. He is the author of The Queen: The Forgotten Life Behind an American Myth and the host of two seasons of the podcast Slow Burn, on David Duke and the rise of Fox News.
