2026 continues to be a year of change across government, industry, and the broader economy. New technologies, evolving mission priorities, shifting acquisition needs, and an increasingly complex operating environment are changing how organizations compete, partner, and grow.
In that environment, connection matters more than ever. SMART PROC GovCon brings together small businesses, government leaders, prime contractors, industry innovators, and academic partners to exchange insight, build relationships, and identify opportunities to work together.
But meaningful connection is only the beginning. Collaboration turns conversations into partnerships — and partnerships create impact. Whether you are pursuing new customers, exploring teaming opportunities, strengthening your understanding of government requirements, or positioning your organization for what comes next, SPGC is designed to help move those conversations forward.
Join us November 18–19, 2026 in Frederick, Maryland, for two days of procurement intelligence, relationship-building, exhibiting, and sessions spanning health, defense, transportation, cyber, AI, and other critical mission areas.
Connect with the right people. Collaborate around real opportunities. Create impact that extends beyond the conference.
