Elev8 and Engage GovCon. Never Settle. An OrangeSlices event

The 2026 Elev8GovCon and Engage FedGov social event is coming to Washington, DC, and we’re getting ready for what we expect to be our biggest celebration yet.

There is tremendous energy across the Federal sector. Federal agencies and government contractors are investing in new capabilities, building new partnerships, developing the next generation of leaders, and stepping forward to take on some of the government’s most important missions. This event is about bringing that community together and recognizing the government and industry leaders, teams, and brands making a real and measurable impact.

And this year, we expect an incredible group of leaders to fill the room.

If you’ve joined us in previous years, you know what to expect. A room filled with top Federal and industry leaders, familiar faces from across the community, and plenty of people you’ve been meaning to meet. If you haven’t joined us before, this is a pretty good year to change that.

After three consecutive sold-out events, we’re changing things up for 2026 and bringing the celebration into the heart of Washington at Dirty Habit. Set inside DC’s original 1840s General Post Office, the venue brings together incredible history, architecture, and atmosphere, giving us a fitting backdrop for the night we have planned.

We already have an outstanding group of leaders committed to joining us, with many more to come. Whether you’re there to reconnect, build new relationships, recognize some of the people and companies raising the bar, or simply celebrate another remarkable year in GovCon, this is a night you’ll want to be part of.

We have big plans, the room is already coming together, and after three straight sellouts, we fully expect to sell out again.

If you’re planning to join us, register early.

We’ll see you at Dirty Habit.
