Summer Networking: NVTC’s AI & Workforce Communities

NVTC’s AI and Workforce Development Communities are teaming up for an evening of networking at the intersection of technology and talent—at a moment when both are evolving rapidly.

According to CompTIA’s recent State of the Tech Workforce 2026, the DC region is a top-tier tech hub—#3 nationally with 363K+ workers and a $71B+ economic impact.

But the bigger story is this: AI fluency is becoming essential. More than 275,000 job postings now require AI skills, signaling a clear shift—AI is no longer specialized expertise, it’s a baseline capability across today’s workforce.

This gathering is for professionals who are thinking about what that means in real terms. Whether you’re building AI solutions, shaping workforce strategy, or simply looking to stay ahead, you’ll be in the right room.

Grab a drink, start a conversation, and connect with peers who are navigating the same shifts—and helping define what it means to be an AI-fluent workforce in our region.
