Acquisition Excellence 2016

ACT-IAC is pleased to announce that Acquisition Excellence 2016 will be hosted at the Grand Hyatt Washington on March 22. AE 2016 is an education and training event that will bring together the government and industry acquisition communities in order to collaborate on the latest acquisition challenges and generate innovative solutions for potential implementation. AE2016 will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to be effective in buying or providing IT two years from now. 

This year’s event will examine the future of acquisition through four unique lenses with a focus on providing tangible outcomes that attendees can take back to their office and utilize immediately:

• Acquisition Innovation – How is the process changing and what is the impact of new technology.
• Advancing the Government-Industry Relationship – This track will examine how government organizes to work with industry and the impact of Market Intelligence
• Cyber – What are the barriers to Next Gen technology and the challenges around replacing/augmenting legacy systems
• Services Acquisition – What is the impact of LPTA, FITARA, and Category Management?  What are the new ways that government deals with the market place?

By participating in Acquisition Excellence 2016, attendees will learn best practices, network with fellow acquisition professionals, and help generate solutions that could solve their daily acquisition challenges. Government attendees will include contracting officers and specialists, program managers, legal professionals and acquisition leaders and policy makers. Collaboration between these stakeholders will be emphasized during the conference and will be a primary benefit for attendees.  This year's agenda includes updates on current acquisition priorities and changes and also provides interactive sessions where government and industry executives can collaborate on current acquisition challenges and opportunities.
