SUMMARY:The Network: Direct Employer Access (Newport News)
DESCRIPTION:Stop applying online. Start shaking hands. Bypass the resume “black hole.” Meet vetted hiring managers who know what your clearance is worth\nThe Algorithm Can’t Hire You.

Make it count. Learn who they are and what they’re looking for. If it’s not you\, how you can help.\nThe job market is all about who you know. Come know the right people.\nIf you have any additional questions\, please do not hesitate to contact us:\nNewport News Front Desk: 757-782-4531\nEmail: militarycommunity@theworkforcecouncil.org\nThis event and the services provided herein at the Hampton Roads Veterans Employment Centers are funded through 25% or $199\,576 through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and 75% or $580\,391 through nonfederal sources.

SUMMARY:🧜‍♀️ AICHR | Build and Demo Night (with prizes)
DESCRIPTION:🚀 Build & Demo Night — Where Hampton Roads Ships Real AI\nSomething’s building here. Every Month\, the AI Collective turns into a working garage: laptops open\, ideas flying\, and real projects taking shape in the room. This isn’t a lecture or a watch-along. It’s a build night.\nHere’s how it works\nCome with an idea\, a half-finished project\, or just curiosity. Spend the night building — solo or on a team. Then we demo. Show what you made\, get real feedback\, and see what everyone else is shipping. Working demos beat perfect slides\, every time.\nAndrew and a crew of experienced devs will be in the room the whole night — to pair up\, debug with you\, talk architecture\, or help you scope something you can actually finish by the end of the session. Stuck? We’ll get you unstuck. Just want to talk through an idea? That’s what we’re here for.\n👇 But here’s the bigger picture\nThese nights aren’t the finish line — they’re the on-ramp.\n🔧 Build & Demo Night → sharpen your skills\, form teams\, and get a project off the ground.\n⚡ Hackathons → take those teams and projects into focused sprint competitions and ship something real in 24–48 hours.\n🏆 Regional & National Stages → the strongest projects go on to compete at events like the Startup World Cup (global pitch competition\, $1M grand prize) and SCSP’s AI hackathons ($50K+ prize pools\, frontier-AI & national-competitiveness focus) — and whatever comes next.\nLocal reps → competitive teams → a shot at the biggest stages in tech. The people who show up to build on a random weeknight are the same people who’ll be repping Hampton Roads at a national final. That path starts here.\nWho should come\nDevelopers who want to build more\, and build faster\nFounders & entrepreneurs with an idea to prototype\nDesigners\, PMs\, and “non-technical” folks who want to team up with builders\nAnyone AI-curious who learns best by doing\nYou don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need a team. You don’t even need an idea — plenty of projects need hands\, and plenty of builders are looking for teammates.\nBring: a laptop\, a charger\, and something you want to make real.\nCome build. Demo something. Then let’s take it to the world stage. 🌎\nℹ️ Other bits of info & FAQs\nThis is a free community event\nDrinks or food are available for purchase depending on the venue\nPhotos or videos may be taken for community and marketing purposes\nCome solo or bring a friend\n​​​Is there free parking in the area? Yes. They’ve got lots of spots available in their parking lot.\n​​​Is this free? Yes\, but space is limited. Make sure to RSVP.\n🤝 Organizers & partners\nOrganizers\nThe AI Collective Hampton Roads\n​Platinum partners\nTechArk\nRegent University\nECPI University\nHampton Roads Chamber Foundation\nRetail Alliance & Retail Alliance Foundation\nThe HIVE + City of Virginia Beach\nBronze partners\nAssembly\n757 Collab\n🌍 ​Our parent org\nThe AI Collective is a global non-profit community uniting 1 million+ pioneers – founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors – exploring the frontier of AI in major tech hubs worldwide. Through events\, workshops\, and community-led research\, we empower the AI ecosystem to collaboratively steer AI’s future toward trust\, openness\, and human flourishing.\nAll attendees and organizers at events affiliated with The AI Collective agree to our privacy policy and are subject to our code of conduct.

SUMMARY:PART 6: Government Contracting Pricing Models
DESCRIPTION:This is a 6-part introduction to federal contracting and interactive proposal lab workshop offered by Hillary Boyce of BAFO Services LLC.\nPricing is one of the most critical—and misunderstood—elements of government proposals.

SUMMARY:Find Your Customer. Grow Your Sales.
DESCRIPTION:Stop marketing to everyone. Start selling to the people who will actually buy.\nDo you feel like you’re working hard but not growing? The problem often isn’t your product or service — it’s that you’re trying to reach everyone instead of focusing on the customers most likely to buy\, stay\, and refer others.\nIn this practical workshop\, Paula Short will help you build a clear picture of your ideal customer\, understand how they think and buy\, and align your message\, your offer\, and your sales approach around them. You’ll leave with a sharper focus on who your business should be targeting — and a practical plan for reaching them\, converting them\, and turning them into loyal repeat customers.
