Important Update: DoD Mentor-Protégé Program Summit and Government Contracting 101 Symposium Postponed

DoD Mentor-Protege Program Summit and GovCon101 Symposium PostponedDue to the ongoing federal government shutdown, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the DoD Mentor-Protégé Program Summit and the Government Contracting 101 Symposium originally scheduled for October 20–22 and October 23, respectively. This decision was not made lightly. Given the shutdown’s impact on travel approvals, speaker participation, and logistical support across government agencies, we are no longer able to deliver the high-quality, high-impact events we had planned—and that you deserve. We know many of you were looking forward to these events and we share your disappointment. At the same time, we remain committed to holding these events later once government operations resume and we can reengage our full team and speaker lineup. We will follow up soon with details about the new dates.
