  From GSA’s evolving role to government‑wide policy changes, the landscape is moving toward greater modernization, consolidation, and mission‑driven buying. Understanding where acquisition is headed isn’t optional anymore; it’s a competitive advantage. Join us for this discussion where small businesses can stay informed about the shift and changes in federal contracting and how to engage with government leaders.
