2026 Fall Training Conference: The Acquisition Exchange, November 18-19
The two-day Fall Training Conference brings together government and industry leaders to discuss the latest developments in governmentwide and healthcare procurement, featuring insights from key government decision makers and industry experts on the issues shaping today’s dynamic federal procurement landscape.

The Coalition thanks OFS Brands for its sponsorship of the Fall Training Conference Registration.

Day One, “The Acquisition Exchange: What’s Next for Interagency Contracting?” will bring together government and industry leaders for a full day of discussions focused on the future of the federal acquisition marketplace. As agencies continue to evolve their acquisition strategies, programs, and contracting approaches, the agenda will examine what these changes mean for both government and industry. Attendees will hear directly from acquisition leaders and experts on emerging priorities, the connection between acquisition policy and operations, and the programs and initiatives shaping interagency contracting. The day will also provide opportunities for attendees to engage directly with government officials through focused breakout sessions covering key acquisition offices, contract vehicles, and systems.

The Coalition is also excited to announce that former Congressman and current Holland & Knight partner Tom Davis will deliver keynote remarks examining the 2026 election results. Davis will share an in-depth analysis of the results and their far-reaching implications for the federal market and procurement policy.

In addition, Moshe Schwartz, Coalition Defense Fellow and President of Etherton and Associates, will return to provide his popular legislative and budget update. Schwartz will break down the latest developments on Capitol Hill, including key legislative and funding issues, and discuss what government contractors should be watching as we head into 2027.
