City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in shadowy style… other people might be out holiday shopping, but spies never get a day off! This festive surveillance workshop in the streets of DC will be led by Eric O’Neill. Your ticket includes a festive cocktail (or mocktail if you prefer) at the post-workshop debriefing.
As a young operative in the FBI, O’Neill was put into position as Robert Hanssen’s assistant with the secret task of spying on his boss, who was under suspicion of working for Russia. O’Neill’s background with the FBI was in surveillance, so he was up to the challenge. But how would you measure up? Are you better than the Elf on the Shelf at spying trouble? Can you keep track of the target and get everything on your gift shopping list? It’s your chance to find out. O’Neill is prepared to share his hard-earned expertise with you.
This intense small group introduction to surveillance will include learning the basics and conducting surveillance from the glamourous Doyle Collection, DC hotel through the enticing stalls of the DC Holiday Market. Will you be able to track the “Rabbit” without being “made”? You’ll learn how to snap clandestine shots and keep your target in view so you won’t miss operational acts or clandestine meetings. O’Neill will lead the exercise and help you learn how to blend into the sugarplum shadows for the best spy results!
The workshop will begin at The Dupont Circle Hotel. The chic Doyle Collection hotel is the perfect setting for a spy story with its location on Dupont Circle offering people watching of epic proportion.
The hotel is located at 1500 New Hampshire Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20036.
