Join us for an exclusive morning of insights on government procurement strategies on Friday, Dec. 6.
Government-wide acquisition contracts, aka GWACs, are one of the cornerstones of the federal IT market.
At our final Power Breakfast of 2024, we will look at these contracts through several discussions of why they continue to be so important and where they are going.
The event starts at 7:45 a.m. on Dec. 6 with breakfast and registration at the Carahsoft Conference Center in Reston, Virginia. The program kicks off at 8:30 a.m. and will wrap up at around 10:30. Follow this link to register.
Our program will start with a one-on-one conversation featuring Joanne Woytek, program director of the NASA SEWP vehicle. She is in the midst of getting SEWP VI into the market and that will mark the end of a remarkable government career.
Woytek will share insights on how contracting has evolved since she helped launch SEWP in 1993. The conversation will include trends in the market, the role industry can play and why GWACs continue to be so important in the market.
After that is a panel discussion featuring Larry Hale, deputy assistant director for IT category management at the General Services Administration; and Katherine Thompson, deputy executive director for Army Contracting Command.
They will category management, emerging priorities, the future of major GWACs and tech trends.
Winning a seat on contracts such as Alliant, OASIS and RS3 is only the first step. What do you do after that will be the topic of our third session, featuring industry practitioners who will share their best advice on how companies can leverage their positions on these lucrative contract vehicles.
The panel will feature Amber Hart, co-founder of The Pulse of GovCon; Brian Seagrave, chief technology officer at Deep Water Point & Associates; and Joe Salgado, general manager for GWACs and IDIQs at Red Team Consulting.
Molly Broemmelsiek from our data partner GovTribe will wrap up the Power Breakfast with a data presentation on how agencies use GWACs to meet their mission.
As always with our Power Breakfasts, there will be opportunities for networking and meeting your peers in the market.
