2026 Federal Contractor Summit and Annual Oyster Roast
Join us for the Federal Contractor Summit, presented by the SAME Charleston Post!
Whether you’re a prime contractor looking to expand your network or a small business ready to grow your federal footprint, the 2026 Industry Government Engagement Day is designed to put you in the room with key people, programs, and partners.
While we are still finalizing this year’s programming, attendees can expect a format similar to previous years, featuring morning program updates followed by an afternoon dedicated to direct engagement, matchmaking, and networking.
Event Highlights:
- FY27 Program Update: Get a first look at upcoming work and priorities.
- Face-to-Face, Table Talk & Matchmaking Sessions: Connect directly with government representatives, program leaders, prime contract holders, and industry partners. Take advantage of small-group discussions to ask questions, gain insights, identify potential teaming partners, and build valuable relationships.
Come for the program intelligence, stay for the connections, and leave with new opportunities for the year ahead!
