Elev8 and Engage GovCon

Celebrating Companies Providing Higher Levels of Employee and Customer Engagement

The 3rd annual Elev8GovCon and Engage FedGov social event will kick off the holiday season by bringing together and recognizing the top government partners and industry and government leaders who are driving the important missions of the Federal government and who are making a real and measurable impact for U.S. citizens, our Warriors, and Veterans, our business leaders and educators, our seniors and caregivers, our families, and our children.

How do we properly recognize the top brands in GovCon? By renting out the historic Guinness brewery in Halethorpe, MD, a state-of-the-art facility which celebrates the company’s 260 years of Irish brewing experience, unparalleled focus on quality and on giving back to the community they serve.

Who: All are welcome to attend. Honored and invited guests will include government officials, executive leaders and team members from the list of the 2026 Elev8 GovCon Honorees, as well as the 2026 Engage FedGov Leaders.

When: November 19, 2025 | 4 PM - 8:30 PM

Where: Guinness Open Gate Brewery located at 5001 Washington Blvd., Halethorpe, MD 21227

What: It will happen to be in the company of many of the top organizations and leaders; the innovators and dreamers who are pushing limits and redefining what it means to be a good leader and organization supporting the Federal sector today.  

Show Your Brand: Bring it! This event is all about celebrating the amazing and varied companies, leaders and brands that make up the fabric of the government contracting community. Does your CEO wear sneakers that match your company colors? Does your top marketing exec keep pushing new swag and challenging your team to think about how to represent your authentic self in this competitive marketplace? This is an innovative and creative community – we will leave it to you to think about how best to show your brand. A professional photographer will be present.
