The experiences
One night a month. Three ways to show up.
Same last Wednesday, different room every time. Come to all of them, or just the ones that sound like you.
GovCon Trivia
"Teams, bragging rights, and questions only a contractor would love."
Teams of 4–6 — bring a crew or get matched at the door. Rounds include Acronym Soup (FAR, NAICS, UEI, CAGE…), Name That Agency, Set-Aside Showdown, and a pop-culture palate cleanser. Mixed teams win all the time.
Bids & Brews
"Craft beer. Real conversations. Your next teaming partner might be one stool over."
A relaxed taproom night built for connecting. Hit the Bid Board: pin a sticky note with what you're chasing or what you're great at, and let the right people find you. No pitches, no panels.
The GovCon Social
"Dress sharp. Connect smart. Build bigger."
Our upscale edition: an elevated evening bringing together business owners, primes, partners, mentors, and GovCon professionals in a relaxed setting. Quality conversations, meaningful introductions, and the kind of connections that can turn into real opportunities.
