Pipeline presents

2-day networking & career bootcamp

August 18–19, 2026 · Springfield Country Club · Northern Virginia

Sponsored by Pipeline — an in-person intensive for anyone serious about turning relationships into outcomes.

Most career advice stops at “network more.” This bootcamp is the opposite: concrete practice, honest feedback, and time with people who hire and refer — plus early access to Pipeline so you leave with a system, not just a notebook of good intentions.

What you’ll walk away with

Practical skills and relationships — not vague inspiration.

A repeatable outreach system. Templates, timing, and follow-up habits that feel human, not salesy.
Confidence in high-stakes conversations. Practice intros, coffee chats, and “ask for the intro” moments with coaching.
Early access to Pipeline. Use the product during the bootcamp so your network stays organized after you leave.
Face time with operators & recruiters. People who actually staff teams — not a parade of keynote quotes.

Two days, built for momentum

Exact sessions may shift as we finalize the roster — this is the shape of the experience.

Day 1

Foundation & first moves

  • Map the relationships you already have (and the ones you’re sleeping on)
  • Workshop: outreach that gets answers — subject lines, hooks, and follow-ups
  • Hands-on with Pipeline: daily moves, logging touchpoints, prioritizing who matters
  • Evening-style block: small-group practice with feedback

Day 2

Intros, interviews, and staying in motion

  • How referrals actually happen inside companies
  • Mock scenarios: asking for intros, navigating “let me think about it,” staying warm
  • Recruiter & hiring-manager perspectives — what they wish candidates did
  • Your 30-day plan so the habit sticks after the bootcamp

Who this is for

If you’re tired of applying into the void and ready to invest in how opportunities actually get created, you’re in the right place.

Students and new grads building toward competitive roles. Early-career professionals pivoting or leveling up. Anyone in Northern VA (or willing to travel) who wants structured practice — not another panel on “the importance of networking.”

Capacity is intentionally limited so we can keep sessions interactive.
