From Local Wins to Federal Success: Building a Government Contracting Growth Path

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 2:00pm EDT

Breaking into federal contracting and sustaining success requires more than just a certification. Small businesses that strategically sequence their growth from local and state opportunities to federal contracts have a clear competitive edge. This session will unpack a practical roadmap for leveraging certifications (8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, MBE, and more) alongside targeted contract pursuits to build past performance, strengthen capabilities, and position for long-term wins. Using the Crawl-Walk-Run-Fly model, our panel will share real-world examples of businesses that started with local government contracts, built strong teaming relationships, and scaled into multimillion-dollar federal opportunities. We’ll explore the evolving federal landscape, including current industry trends, SBA program updates, and high-growth areas like cybersecurity, AI, and infrastructure. Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies to identify the right opportunities, create winning proposals, and manage compliance for sustainable growth whether they’re just starting or ready to graduate to larger contracts. Discover how to strategically grow your government contracting portfolio starting with local and state opportunities, then scaling to federal success. Learn how to leverage certifications, build past performance, and adapt to market trends to win more contracts.

How Small Businesses Can Turn Compliance into a Competitive Advantage

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 at 2:00pm EDT

Many small-business owners believe regulations don’t apply to them and that compliance is only for big companies. They assume they can fly under the radar. But that’s simply not the case. While larger businesses face more complex requirements, small businesses still have legal obligations—and ignoring them can lead to serious consequences. In this session, we’ll debunk common compliance myths and explore why staying on top of filings, permits, and licenses is critical—no matter the size of your business. Attendees will learn: Whether you’re a solopreneur or running a fast-growing business, this session will give you actionable insights to turn compliance from a burden into a growth driver. Leave with a clear roadmap to ensure your business stays protected and is always ready to seize new opportunities.

The real risks of non-compliance, from financial penalties and reputational damage to administrative dissolution, all because of overlooked requirements.

Why an annual “compliance check-up” is essential to identify gaps before they become costly problems.

How compliance can be a strategic advantage, opening doors to government contracts, geographic expansion, and new revenue streams.

The role of technology in simplifying compliance, including how modern tools provide real-time visibility, automate deadlines, and keep businesses in good standing.
