Welcome to the Ascent Veterans Government Contracting Virtual Summit
Hello everyone! Today, we’re diving into an exciting opportunity tailored for our veterans and the broader community interested in government contracting— the Ascent Veterans Government Contracting Virtual Summit. This event is designed to celebrate our veteran heroes while providing invaluable insights into the world of government contracts.
Event Overview
The summit isn’t exclusively for veterans; however, veterans will take center stage in sharing their success stories and experiences in transitioning to government contracting. This is a chance for everyone to gain insights and ask questions directly to industry leaders—many of whom are veterans themselves. We dropped a link to register, and I encourage anyone interested to sign up!
Keynote Speaker and Panelists
Kicking off the event is Lori Sal, a trailblazer in her field. Lori brings a wealth of knowledge with a focus on staffing and event planning contracts, representing an eight-figure business. What’s remarkable about Lori is her straightforward approach to success, which resonates particularly with women in business. She’ll discuss not just her journey but also practical strategies to elevate one’s career without compromising authenticity.
Following Lori, we have a stellar lineup of speakers:
1. Cesar Nar – Ex Corporation Solutions
Cesar is an expert in the IT sector and is known for his insightful contributions during various government conferences. His background will provide attendees with a unique perspective on technology’s role in government contracting.
2. Michael Sanders – Interactive Government Holdings
Michael focuses on prime contracts, and he’s adept at navigating the complexities of securing contracts from government entities. His experiences will highlight best practices and lessons learned in the field.
Dynamic Discussions on Selling to the Government
Next up are Ryan Aneno from Grants Masters, and Jackson Dalton from Blackbox Safety. Ryan has been instrumental in helping small businesses understand how to sell products directly to the government through local military installations. His innovative approach enables participants to identify and fulfill specific needs directly on base.
Jackson’s story is inspiring—having transitioned from zero knowledge to winning contracts that enhance safety measures in various governmental departments. He recently received an Ink Award, showcasing how rapidly one can grow in this space with the right guidance.
The Construction Sector Spotlight
Presenting next is Leth Bz from Crush Construction World. Leth has an inspiring background in the military and has made significant strides in government contracting, establishing her company as a notable player in construction. Her insights will help demystify the challenges faced by women in a predominantly male industry.
We also have Robert Swain, who has a compelling story from humble beginnings to securing multi-million dollar projects. His success serves as motivation for anyone looking to break into the contracting world with persistence and determination.
Interactive Format and Audience Engagement
The summit promises to be an interactive experience where attendees can engage directly with speakers. Before joining, I encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with our speakers’ backgrounds so you can formulate insightful questions. This is not just a one-way conversation; it’s an opportunity to connect, network, and learn directly from those who have walked the path.
Registration and Accessibility
Registering for the summit is completely free, and even if you think you might not attend, it’s worth signing up to access the recordings later. This way, you ensure you don’t miss out on valuable insights shared during the sessions.
Encouraging participation is a part of our mission. We aim to demonstrate the demand for events like this, making it crucial for you all to show your interest by registering. If we see engagement, we can better gauge the community’s needs.
Resources for Aspiring Contractors
For those wondering about securing funds for government contracts, I recommend exploring companies dedicated to assisting contractors. Mobilization Funding and Encore Funding are two options that can provide the necessary financial support for your projects. Moreover, leveraging programs that facilitate contracting opportunities within federal frameworks will also be invaluable.
Ongoing Support and Next Steps
Throughout the event, we’ll be providing ample opportunity for Q&A. If you have queries—even beyond what’s discussed here—feel free to reach out via text or email. We want to be a resource for you in your journey toward successful government contracting.
Remember, this summit is designed with the veteran community in mind but is open to everyone—small business owners and those curious about government contracts. We’re creating a space for knowledge sharing, networking, and empowerment.
So gear up for a fantastic event! Your participation is key, and together, we’ll foster a community of support that uplifts all members looking to thrive in government contracting. Don’t wait—secure your spot today!
