This year’s Government Contract Management Symposium shines a light on the front lines of the contract management profession—the people working hard where the rubber meets the road. Every GCMS session will feature real-life stories from the field to illustrate how to apply key contracting skills; spotlight the effects of new policies, regs, and practices; demonstrate applicable techniques for building your career; and reveal ways practitioners are using innovative methods and technology.

Tracks include: 

• Get Smart - Attend these sessions if you’re looking to hone your skills in some of the most challenging practices in contract management. If you’re new to the profession, this track is where you’ll also find voices of wisdom and experience on the essential basics every practitioner must master.
  

• Get Ready - If you’re looking for insider tips, tricks and analysis on hot issues, innovations, and what’s coming in contracting, this is your track. Sleepless over supply chain risk? Confused about the state of CMMC? Stymied by software acquisition? Curious about contracting bots? Enticed by the ease of OTAs and CSOs?
  

• Get Ahead - You know that true success in our field takes more than just knowing the rules. Communication, collaboration, negotiation, influence, and leadership are just as important. And that is true whether managing contracts or your own career. This track offers deep dives and the best current thinking about the personal skills and organizational culture you need to succeed.
