What if you were assigned to watch the most damaging spy in US history? As a young operative in the FBI, Eric 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? 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 posh interior of the Mayflower Hotel to the back alleys of the glossy corporate K Street corridor. 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 shadows for the best spy results!
The workshop will begin at Tolson at The Mayflower Hotel, Autograph Collection. The hotel is the scene of many famous spy stories and the restaurant is named for the FBI’s longtime head J. Edgar Hoover who dined at The Mayflower daily and Tolson is a nod to his protégé and lifelong confidant. 
Tolson is located in The Mayflower Hotel at 1127 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20036.
