What does it mean to be “Midwest nice” in a city like D.C.?

Join us for a lively, relatable, and genuinely fun evening exploring the quirks, humor, and shared identity of Midwesterners navigating life in the nation’s capital.

Featuring etiquette coach and writer Alison Cheperdak, this conversation dives into the subtle art of people-pleasing, polite deflection, and the cultural instincts we carry with us—from apologizing too much to avoiding conflict at all costs. Expect sharp insights, plenty of laughs, and a room full of people who just get it.
