The national Deaf Professional Happy Hourâ„¢ (DPHHâ„¢) website (http://www.dphh.com) was launched during the 2008 NAD Conference in New Orleans! We aim to set up and provide support to DPHHs in every major urban area with a significant deaf population. Several cities across the United States were thrilled to sign up their DPHH and many more have expressed interest in adding their city to the website. If your city is not on the DPHH map, let us know! Contact us at:
contact . us (at) dphh.com
Some of the exciting features on DPHH.com include:
- National map on the homepage linking to each city’s DPHH
- Large photo slideshow
- Download and save photos
- Google map to pinpoint the location of the next DPHH
- YELP! mashup that provides reviews of local restauarants near the DPHH
- RSS feed to subscribe to your city’s feed
(or get all of ‘em with the national DPHH feed)
Of course, our work is never finished. Please continue to check DPHH.com for the latest improvements.
The Washington, DC DPHH has transitioned from DeafDC.com to DPHH.com. If you’re looking for the July 5th DC DPHH photos from Fado Irish Pub and the announcement about the August 1st DPHH location, go to:

DPHH had its humble beginnings in Washington, DC in April of 1995, so deaf professionals could socialize. Over the years the networking event has transformed into a deaf community institution and the modern-day equivalent of the deaf club. Today, the event is simply known as DPHH.
DPHH promotes greater awareness of deaf people from all backgrounds, encourages diversity, provides a venue to network and develop new opportunities, and creates an environment ideal for making new acquaintances and reminiscing with old faces
Celebrate the deaf way at your local DPHH.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I have seen the website, dphh.com and found that they didn’t include other local dphh events ongoing.
Although the website is quite new, there is a forum thread about the dphh.com and there are few local dphh events that weren’t included onsite.
Check it out at: http://www.alldeaf.com/our-wor.....-dphh.html
Keep up with good work and thanks, DPHH!
We’re just as thrilled about the new DPHH.com website, thanks for your enthusiastic comments. Prior to the launch of DPHH.com, we contacted almost every known DPHH or form of monthly deaf social gathering similar to DPHH about joining the national DPHH website. We’re still in dialogue with them and hope to welcome them to DPHH.com in the near future.

[…] Posted by dbarovian Read DeafDC Blog report: DeafDC Blog » National DPHH Website Launched It nice to know about those DPHH nationwide when traveling so […]
I agree! DPHH.com a great idea for travelers who hope to join a large gathering of deaf people in other cities and meet the locals.
Yoohoo! Cool website. I especially like the mastheads for different cities.
Suggest you test in Safari too, it looks funny compared to Firefox. And where’s San Diego or Bay Area DPHHs? (www.dcpaofsd.org) or (baduppies.blogspot.com)? And I think there’s a couple up in Oregon, too…
Adam,
Thanks for letting us know about the Safari bug, we’re working to quash it.
Coolio!
Thanks.
DPHH in Fremont California at Joey Basil Bar and Grill July 26 9 pm to midnight
Great pictures of Washington, DC and New Orleans especially the beautiful design you produced it. Hopefully, other cities will join DPPH website for networking purposes including travel arrangements.
Cheers,
Nick

In addition to the grammatical error in this sentence, I find the implications of this clause very troubling for many reasons.
