Veterans Affairs Acquisition Exchange Series

Join us for FORUM's Veterans Affairs Acquisition Exchange Series, an interactive forum where VA acquisition leaders pull back the curtain on what really drives their divisions—from mission-critical priorities to leadership philosophies and best practices for partnering with industry. Each session kicks off with a concise market-and-policy update, followed by ground-rule alignment. Then, your moderator, Greg Giddens, will lead a candid conversation with our featured panel: one division chief and two contracting officers from that division.

You’ll hear:

• A view of the overall VA contracting opportunity landscape
• Personal Journeys: How each leader arrived at their role and what inspires them daily.
• Division Focus & Initiatives: The current priorities shaping their work and the projects they’re most excited about.
• Leadership & Engagement: Their management style, approach to team building, and strategies for fostering meaningful industry collaboration.

We will always end with an engaging Q&A session with the audience. Whether you’re a veteran acquisition pro or an industry partner looking for fresh insight, FORUM's VA Acquisition Exchange delivers the insider perspective you need to navigate tomorrow’s opportunities together.

Who Should Attend: Business Development professionals, Capture Managers, Proposal Teams, Contracting Officers and related roles, and executives looking to enhance win rates through early-stage opportunity shaping.
