Here, KPMG's Peter Epley, CoStar Group's Corbin Haresnape and Kelley Smith.

Also included in the weekend's festivities was a Saturday Matinee Riot benefiting the Oyster Recovery Partnership, which coordinates oyster restoration efforts in the Chesapeake Bay. Here, partygoers Eric Andersen and Katie Campos.
