If you’ve never attended a ClearanceJobs Connect event, our Connect West 2026 highlight video offers a preview of what makes these gatherings one of the premier networking and educational experiences in the national security community.
From candid discussions on the future of recruiting and artificial intelligence to practical conversations about candidate experience, recruiter strategy, and workforce development, Connect West brought together leaders from across the defense and intelligence sectors to share ideas, challenge conventional thinking, and build stronger hiring practices.
Now, we’re bringing that same energy to Colorado on July 23.
Connect Colorado will feature expert-led sessions, opportunities to engage directly with recruiters and hiring managers, and a dedicated Candidate Track designed to help cleared professionals strengthen their job search strategy before meeting with employers.
Whether you’re a recruiter looking to build a stronger talent pipeline, a hiring manager navigating an evolving workforce, or a cleared professional exploring your next opportunity, Connect Colorado provides valuable insights and meaningful face-to-face connections that simply can’t be replicated online.
Throughout the day, attendees will hear from industry experts discussing hiring trends, workforce challenges, emerging technologies, and best practices for attracting and retaining top talent. More importantly, they’ll have the opportunity to continue those conversations through networking with peers who share a commitment to strengthening the national security workforce.
The conversations started this year at Connect West don’t end there—they continue at every Connect event across the country.
If this highlight reel inspires you, don’t watch the next event from the sidelines.
Join us on July 23 in Colorado Springs to experience the insights, connections, and career opportunities that have made ClearanceJobs Connect a must-attend event for the cleared community.
Register today and be part of the conversation.
