2026 Outlook: Market Challenges and Opportunities for GovCon

After the tumult of 2025, the federal marketplace for 2026 and beyond is still coming into focus. PSC President Stephanie Kostro will offer key insights into how the Administration has been operationalizing its priorities--for example, through contracting- and contractor-related initiatives and the fiscal year 2027 budget request to Congress. What is the status of various Executive Orders (e.g., contract consolidation, fixed-price preference)? What impact will the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul and the Pentagon's Acquisition Transformation Strategy have on compliance? What is the future of small business utilization? And how can PSC help shape the ways in which the government and industry engage in all of these areas? Attend this session and learn what these moving pieces mean for your business strategy and contract opportunities going forward.

Networking at its finest

Not only is the PSC Leadership Summit an extraordinary opportunity for business intelligence, but perhaps what it is most known for the incredible networking opportunities it creates across the federal contracting marketplace.
