WACIF and LEDC present The Pivot Project Networking Reception as part of The Pivot Project: From Necessity to Opportunity Entrepreneurship. Hosted within The Cultivate Summit, this reception brings the spirit of the program to life by connecting entrepreneurs, partners, and community members.

The Pivot Project: From Necessity to Opportunity Entrepreneurship is a curated workshop series and technical assistance program designed to help entrepreneurs across the Washington Metropolitan Region gain the clarity, tools, and connections needed to transition into full-time business ownership or scale with confidence.

The Pivot Project Networking Reception is designed for entrepreneurs, early-stage founders, creatives, service providers, and small business owners who are seeking structure, momentum, and community as they plan, refine, or relaunch their ventures. Whether you’re exploring an idea or ready to take decisive action, this space offers the connection and encouragement needed to keep moving forward.

Engage in guided networking activities, explore the Innovations Marketplace Expo, and connect with fellow entrepreneurs, Summit speakers, and resource partners in a relaxed, social setting while enjoying light refreshments and snacks.

The evening will be powered by DJ Ty Alexander, who will keep the energy flowing, and will feature a special raffle for Professional Services Scholarships, designed to help attendees continue building, growing, and pivoting with purpose.

Whether you’re deepening connections made throughout the Summit or sparking new ones, this reception is your moment to celebrate progress, possibility, and what’s next.

Wrap up the Cultivate Summit with intention, connection, and good vibes at the Pivot Project Networking Reception, a high-energy closing experience designed to celebrate community and keep the momentum going beyond the day.
