Intern Ship Orientation Social + Startup Career Fair
So you landed the internship. You moved to the Bay. But no one told you how to actually meet people...
We got you 💅
We’re kicking off summer with the orientation you wish your internship had:
✅ No “fun facts” required
✅ Max vibes
✅ Interns and early-career folks across every company you’ve heard of (and a few you’ll want to Google later)
🌀 Part 1: The Social (1pm - 2:30pm)
Pull up solo or with your crew — this is your chance to meet other cracked interns, make friends, trade weekend plans, and vibe out in a chill, no-pressure space.
Expect music, games, snacks, and good vibes with a twist.
Note: By attending the orientation you are guaranteed access to the Startup Career Fair.
🚀 Part 2: The Startup Career Fair
Once everyone's vibing, we flip the script with an unconventional career fair — ✨Intern Ship style.
There are booths, but forget the suits and sales talk. Expect founder energy, fresh teams, and conversations that don’t feel like interviews.
Whether you’re exploring your next move or just want to meet cool people doing cool things — this is it.
Companies will be revealed the week of the event.
👥 Who should come:
Interns, new grads, early-career explorers. All fields welcome — tech, design, biz, marketing, product, operations, and more.
👕 Dress code:
Come as you are. Think fun, comfy, and camera-roll-worthy.
📌 Space is limited — RSVP early.
🫶 What’s Intern Ship?
Intern Ship is fighting social isolation by helping the brightest young minds in tech connect, grow, and explore—together. Think: local adventures, rooftop gatherings, tech panels, hiking meetups, and vibe-heavy mixers. Work and school don’t have to be your whole personality.
