GovCon Series: From Opportunity to Growth

About this event

GRCC GovCon Council Series

From Opportunity to Growth

Practical conversations. Experienced mentors. Your GovCon questions answered.

Ready to move beyond GovCon 101?

Join the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce and George Mason University's Greg and Camille Baroni Center for Government Contracting for an interactive morning designed for newer and emerging government contractors navigating the next stage of their growth.

This GovCon Series brings together experienced government contracting professionals, small business leaders, and industry experts for candid conversations about what it really takes to find opportunities, build the right relationships, compete effectively, win work, and grow. Instead of spending the morning listening to presentations, you’ll learn from experts and join the conversations that matter most to your business.

What to Expect

We’ll begin with breakfast and networking, followed by a short expert panel offering perspectives from across the GovCon ecosystem.

Then, you’ll participate in three mentor-led roundtable conversations based on the topics you select during registration.

Each roundtable is designed to be practical, conversational, and focused on the questions small businesses are asking right now.

Choose the Conversations You Need Most

During registration, you'll select your top three topics :

FIND & CONNECT

How do I find the right opportunities and build credibility with agencies?

TEAM

When should I prime, subcontract, or partner and how do I identify the right relationships?

DIFFERENTIATE

How do I stand out when so many companies appear to offer the same capabilities?

WIN

How do I move from identifying opportunities to actually winning contracts?

SCALE

What needs to change in my business once I start winning work?

Your selections will help us match attendees with mentors who bring relevant experience to each conversation.

Who Should Attend

This event is for small and emerging government contractors ready to move beyond the basics and get practical guidance on navigating the federal marketplace.

Whether you're working to build your pipeline, strengthen agency relationships, find teaming partners, improve your competitive position, or prepare for growth, you’ll leave with new connections, practical answers, and clear next steps you can put to work.
