We can all attest to the increasingly competitive nature of the GovCon landscape. As a result, companies have to continually innovate and re-evaluate their methods to develop business or capture contracts. While some companies are fortunate to have truly unique solutions, many in the federal space encounter the challenge of blending in with their peers due to their similar solutions and capabilities. Do you know the key to navigating the industry’s obstacles and growing your business? Learn the proper tactics and strategies to distinguish yourself from your competitors and build the right relationships.
Our interactive Federal BD + Capture Training will give attendees firsthand knowledge and tools to effectively design and execute business development and capture strategies in the federal market. During the training, the presenter will discuss the most critical tasks to perform and demonstrate how to incorporate industry best practices to increase your likelihood of winning an opportunity.

Event #5: AFFIRM September Monthly Speaker Series: Transforming Customer Service in Government
Date: September 19, 2019
Cost: $70-$110 (Price is membership dependent)
Location: Mastro’s Steakhouse in Washington, DC
The 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act was passed at the end of 2018 with overwhelming support. The Act calls upon government to deliver the kind of customer service that citizens have come to expect from the private sector. Critical government services such as healthcare, housing, tax advice, driver’s licenses will be available digitally to reduce the taxpayer burden and improve Federal websites using modern technology such as electronic signatures, digitals forms, and self-service options.
This AFFIRM briefing will bring together government thought-leaders to explore how customer service improvements are taming spiraling costs, earning the public trust, and building a more empowered government workforce.
