As we enter the home stretch of the US Government’s fiscal year, understanding the government’s last minute “use it or lose it” spending is critical. Described as one of the big winners in the Obama 2011 budget, the State Department is poised to spend over $56 billion in 2011, and the DoD remains a powerhouse of government spending.
Join us on July 13 at the Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner for a candid conversation with State CTO Charlie Wisecarver, Business Transformation Agency’s Keith Seaman and Appian Chairman and CEO Matthew W. Calkins. These three contracting experts will lay out current trends and the plans for fourth quarter acquisitions, and will provide an overview of the 2011 agenda in the Departments of State and Defense.
What are these Departments’ big pushes to finish FY2010? Where do opportunities lie in 2011? What can contractors do to better position themselves to serve the Departments’ IT and technology needs? Join us for a great keynote, a captivating panel, and as always, excellent networking.
