Join us in Fairfax County, a nationally recognized hub for technology and innovation, for a high-impact purchasing and supplier engagement event designed to do more than connect—it is designed to drive real economic activity.

This summit is a curated purchasing platform that brings together government agencies, prime contractors, and procurement-ready small businesses to strengthen the regional supply chain and fuel economic growth across the Mid-Atlantic.

As cyber, AI, and digital capabilities become embedded across industries, buyers are actively seeking qualified, compliant, and scalable suppliers across technology, logistics, construction, and professional services.

👉 This is where buyers and suppliers meet to build real partnerships—not just exchange business cards.Today’s procurement environment is evolving rapidly:

****************************

• Cybersecurity and AI are now core requirements across contracts
• Supply chains must be secure, diverse, and resilient
• Agencies and primes are seeking trusted, procurement-ready partners

• Meet pre-vetted, procurement-ready suppliers
• Identify partners supporting cyber, AI, and modernization initiatives
• Advance supplier diversity and innovation goals

• Curated, Not Crowded → Fewer exhibitors, higher-quality engagement
• Purchasing-Focused → Built around real buyer-supplier interaction
• Affordable & Accessible → No high-cost barriers
• Regional Advantage → Connect directly into the Mid-Atlantic ecosystem
