Our March 20 WT Power Breakfast will offer insights from Deloitte, Accenture, Booz Allen, Lockheed Martin and others who are constantly on the lookout for commercial technologies that can supercharge their solutions.
As commercial technologies increasingly become critical components of It solutions, they are disrupting traditional government contracting practices. Companies are rethinking their go-to-market strategies and how they serve their customers.
At our March 20 WT Power Breakfast, we’ll hear from executives who are leading these changes at their organizations and how it challenges their traditional ways of doing business.
This represents a challenge and an opportunity for government contractors. It is forcing them to change how they build teams and form partnerships and how they recruit and retain workers.

We'll hear perspectives from the tech vendor community as well with a panel that features Matt Rattigan, vice president of new vendor portfolio management at Carahsoft and Meagan Metzger, CEO of Dcode. Joining them is Frank Dimina, vice president of public sector for Splunk. He’ll share how Splunk has cracked the federal market and the lessons learned from their success.
