n8n Washington D.C. Community Meetup

Welcome to the first official n8n meetup for the Washington DC area community, serving Maryland, Northern Virginia and DC!

Unlike the no-code tools you already know, n8n is open, self hostable, and built for teams who cannot send their data to someone else's cloud, which is exactly why it is showing up in government, defense, and engineering environments. With SAP now backing the company, that approach is going mainstream.

This first gathering is built for the people who work where systems cannot fail: government contractors in IT, engineers automating hardware testing and instrumentation, and small businesses ready for their first real automation win.

What to expect:

A short origin story on why this community exists, and why now

A live n8n build you can actually take home and use

Real talk on automation in regulated, technical, and hardware adjacent settings

Structured time to meet the automation community in your own backyard

Light food and drinks, swag, and good company

Hosted by Martin Cadirola, President of Ecotronics Ventures, with 26 years as a NASA Goddard contractor building LiDAR systems and, more recently, drone-based remote sensing for environmental intelligence. As the official n8n Ambassador for DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia, he focuses on training teams to bring that same engineering excellence to AI workflow automation.

Space is limited to 50 seats, so register early.

Call for speakers

This community grows on real stories, not sales decks. If you have built something useful in n8n, especially in regulated, technical, or hardware adjacent settings, we want to hear about it. Reach out through the "Contact the Host" button on this page and we will send you the details.
