Incorruptible: A Conversation with Eric Ries at STATION DC
STATION DC is proud to host an evening with Eric Ries to celebrate the release of his new book, Incorruptible — an unflinching look at how incentives, systems, and human behavior shape outcomes in ways we don’t always see, but feel every day.
Incorruptible explores a simple but powerful idea: most failures aren’t because of bad people — they’re the result of misaligned systems. And if you want better outcomes, you have to redesign the system.
We’ll kick things off with a fireside chat between Eric Reiss and Ari Shapiro (of NPR), unpacking the ideas behind the book and what they mean for leaders, builders, and anyone operating inside complex institutions.
Afterward, we’ll open things up for a happy hour reception and book signing — bringing together founders, operators, policymakers, and curious minds across DC for conversation, connection, and a deeper look at how the world actually works.
Join us for drinks, thoughtful dialogue, and a room full of ambitious, like-minded people.
