This practical, interactive virtual workshop, speakers will provide an in-depth analysis of the various contracting models. In addition to speaker-prepared reference materials and 3-hours of CLE accreditation, delegates will walk away with real-world guidance and key takeaways that will shape the main conference discussion to follow.

Key topics will include:

• Preparing for increased use of fixed-price contracting driven by Executive Orders and shifting federal acquisition priorities
• Assessing how evolving procurement pathways are changing expectations for solution delivery and vendor engagement in the defense market
• Reducing compliance risk by understanding when agencies must justify the use of non-fixed-price contract structures
• Determining how increased reliance on commercial solutions, OTA, and updated regulatory approaches is reshaping acquisition speed and innovation outcomes
• Examining how can traditional contractors and non-traditional entrants coexist
