Abstract:

Government agencies are increasingly recognizing the value of partnering with small businesses to drive innovation in the IT and technology sectors.

In addition, this panel will discuss updates around the Federal government’s procurement policies, in light of the General Services Administration’s OneGov strategy and the rewrite of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

Attendees will hear success stories that highlight effective public-private partnerships and learn key lessons on leveraging these initiatives to foster technological advancement and agility within government operations. Join us to discover how these collaborations can enhance innovation and create impactful solutions in public sector IT.
