SUMMARY:Peninsula Developers Study Group
DESCRIPTION:New AI tools are dropping every week. Bookmarks are piling up. “To-be-studied” lists are growing faster than we can keep up with. \nSound familiar? \nPeninsula Developers Study Group is a local initiative for students and developers in the Peninsula area who want to stop meaning to learn and start actually doing it—together. \nThere’s no pressure to be an expert\, and no bootcamp intensity. Just a consistent habit\, a room full of curious people\, and the accountability that comes from showing up. \nHow it works:\nWe meet every two weeks on Tuesdays from 6:00–7:30 PM at CNU. Sessions are a mix of focused study and group discussion. \nSession details:\n🕕 Study time: 6:05 PM – 7:05 PM\n🤝 Networking time: 7:05 PM – 7:30 PM\n📍 Location: Christopher Newport University (Luter 170)\n🔁 Frequency: Bi-weekly (Tuesdays)\n💬 Join Slack: Fill Google Form \nThings to bring: \n\nLaptop\nEarphones/headphones\n\nRoadmap (optional structure we’re following): \n\nAI Fluency + Claude 101 (start here)\nBuilding with the Claude API\nIntro to MCP + MCP Advanced\nClaude Code in Action + Coursera module\nPractice questions + scenario walkthroughs\nAnti-patterns review\n\nBased on: “The Claude Certified Architect is Here!” \nYou are welcome to study on anything else too. The goal is the habit\, not the syllabus.

SUMMARY:Just Market
DESCRIPTION:A half-day conference for those who want to win attention\, build trust\, and stay top of mind without being salesy.\n\n\nTL;DR: Watch The Video Instead \nEveryone’s selling something. Fewer people know how to be remembered. \nJust Market is a half-day conference for professionals who want to grow the right way. Through relationships\, reputation\, and real connection. Not scripts. Not pressure. Not another pitch. \nHosted by Jake Maines\, host of the #1 Networking Event in the 757\, Just Market exists because the most successful people in any room aren’t the loudest ones. They’re the ones everyone already knows\, likes\, and trusts before the conversation even starts. This conference teaches you how to become that person. \nWhat you’ll walk away with: \n\nA sharper personal brand that makes you the one people think of first\nPractical networking and follow-up skills that build real relationships\nStrategies for staying top of mind without being salesy\nTools to use AI\, content\, and community to grow your business\nA room full of people who think the same way you do\n\nThe format: \nSix speakers. 20-minute sessions. Real conversation. No fluff. MC’d by Zack Miller\, sessions run from 1:00 PM through 5:00 PM. Then the conference flows directly into the 5th Anniversary of Networking Happy Hour downstairs at The Market at Waterside\, running until 8:00 PM. You’ll leave with ideas you can use the next morning and connections you’ll still be talking about next year. \nWho should be in the room: \nBusiness owners. Sales professionals. Entrepreneurs. Service providers. Coaches\, creatives\, and anyone who grows through people. If the world keeps telling you to be pushier and you’d rather just be better\, this is for you.

SUMMARY:Networking Happy Hour's 5th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Voted Best Networking Event In The 757\n\n\nFive years ago\, I started Networking Happy Hour with no agenda\, no speakers\, and no idea it would turn into this. \nJust a simple idea: get good people in a room\, skip the formalities\, and see what happens. \nWhat happened was a community. Hundreds of professionals from across Hampton Roads who show up every month to have real conversations\, make real connections\, and grow their businesses the way it has always worked best — through people they actually know and trust. \nOn August 5th we are celebrating five years of that. \nThe 5th Anniversary of Networking Happy Hour is happening at The Market at Waterside in Norfolk from 5 to 8 p.m. Same format as always. No pitches\, no agenda\, no name tag awkwardness. Just the best networking event in the 757 with a reason to make it a night worth remembering. \nIf you have been coming for years\, thank you. If you have been meaning to come and haven’t made it yet\, this is the one to show up for. \nCome when you can. Stay as long as you want. \nThe night follows directly after Just Market Conference\, held upstairs at The Harbor Club at Waterside. One building. One afternoon. One evening worth your time. \nFree to attend. Just show up.

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\n\n\nThe Algorithm Can’t Hire You. We Can.\nThe Problem: You spend hours tailoring your resume. You submit it to an online portal. You wait. You hear nothing. The “Black Hole” of online applications is the enemy of a fast transition. \nThe Solution: The Network is your bypass. We cut the red tape and put you in the room with the people who actually sign the offer letters. \nThis isn’t a “job fair” where you collect brochures. This is a tactical access point to the 757’s most aggressive military-hiring companies. We have vetted every employer in the room. They aren’t here to tell you to “apply on the website”—they are here to find their next team leader. \nWho Should Attend: \nTransitioning Service Members: Who are tired of the waiting game. \nMilitary Spouses: Looking for employers who understand the PCS lifestyle. \nVeterans: Ready to level up from their current civilian role. \nYour Rules of Engagement:\nBring Resumes if you have them BUT no biggie if you don’t. \nBe Social: No stress\, take your 30 seconds to tell them who you are. 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:HTML Day | Freewrite
DESCRIPTION:This event is in person only. \nHTML is just writing. You type words\, save the file as .html\, open it in a browser\, done. You’ve made a website. That’s the whole trick. \nCome spend an afternoon making websites by hand\, the old way: no frameworks\, no build tools\, no drag-and-drop. Just a text file and a browser. Never written a tag in your life? Come anyway. You can write for an hour without touching HTML\, or go as deep as you want. Already fluent? Come make something weird and share it. \nThere’s no wrong way to do this. HTML is forgiving by design\, it runs on anything\, it doesn’t break\, and every page is readable by anyone who hits “view source.” That’s the spirit of the old web: open\, human\, no magic behind the curtain. \nThis is an AI-free event. Hands on keys\, write your own HTML like it’s 2003. We can’t frisk you at the door\, but the whole point is the making\, so leave the generators at home and build the thing yourself. \nHow it goes: show up\, quick hello and a short crash course for anyone who wants it\, an hour or so of freely writing HTML\, then optional sharing at the end. \nBring: a laptop (or pen and paper\, writing HTML by hand is great). No accounts\, no installs\, no experience needed. \nCheck out the announcement site here if you haven’t yet! \nCoffee and pastries provided by Val Town | Location provided by ECPI

SUMMARY:The Network: Direct Employer Access (Norfolk)
DESCRIPTION:Stop applying online. Start shaking hands. Bypass the resume "black hole." Meet vetted hiring managers who know what your clearance is worth\n\n\nThe Algorithm Can’t Hire You. We Can.\nThe Problem: You spend hours tailoring your resume. You submit it to an online portal. You wait. You hear nothing. The “Black Hole” of online applications is the enemy of a fast transition. \nThe Solution: The Network is your bypass. We cut the red tape and put you in the room with the people who actually sign the offer letters. \nThis isn’t a “job fair” where you collect brochures. This is a tactical access point to the 757’s most aggressive military-hiring companies. We have vetted every employer in the room. They aren’t here to tell you to “apply on the website”—they are here to find their next team leader. \nWho Should Attend: \nTransitioning Service Members: Who are tired of the waiting game. \nMilitary Spouses: Looking for employers who understand the PCS lifestyle. \nVeterans: Ready to level up from their current civilian role. \nYour Rules of Engagement:\nBring Resumes if you have them BUT no biggie if you don’t. \nBe Social: No stress\, take your 30 seconds to tell them who you are. 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: \nNorfolk Front Desk: 757-807-0423 \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.
