This Reverse Industry Day is designed to be more than a traditional sit-down-and-listen event. Through a hybrid format featuring panels, open Q&A discussions, networking breaks, and collaborative conversations, attendees will have the opportunity to actively engage with both Government and Industry professionals throughout the day. Rather than nonstop presentations, the event is intentionally structured to encourage interaction, relationship building, and meaningful discussion around the future of government contracting.
We will have 30 MICC-affiliated contract officers and specialists present in-person and another 300 present online from 10 additional MICC contracting offices.
The MICC is responsible for contracting support to the Army Training and Transformation Command (T2COM) as well as other Army Professional Schools such as the United States Military Academy at West Point and the US Army War College.
A key focus of this year’s event is Artificial Intelligence and how it is already being utilized across acquisition, business development, proposal strategy, and operational workflows within both Government and Industry. Attendees can expect practical conversations and real-world insights, not just vague “future technology” discussions. Whether you are a small business, prime contractor, subcontractor, capture professional, or business development leader, this event is designed to help organizations better prepare for where government contracting is heading, not where it was five years ago.
Government contracting professionals and regional industry leaders will be in attendance, creating valuable opportunities for learning, networking, and collaboration. Our goal is for attendees to leave more informed, better connected, and energized about the future of Government-Industry partnership and innovation.
Sponsors will receive additional visibility throughout the event, including attendee tickets (2 tickets for large businesses / 1 ticket for small businesses), sponsor recognition on LinkedIn promotions, sponsor logo placement on a featured panel backdrop slide, rotating sponsor slides displayed during lunch and networking breaks, and the opportunity to host a sponsor table with company materials or swag for attendees.
