SUMMARY:Invest in Success: Coalition Compliance Training Conference\, October 7
DESCRIPTION:Staying ahead of evolving compliance requirements is essential to succeeding in the federal marketplace. That’s why the Coalition is launching Invest in Success: Coalition Compliance Training Conference\, the first in a new series of training programs designed to provide government contractors with timely\, practical insights on the procurement policies\, compliance developments\, and emerging risks affecting their organizations. \nJoin us on the morning of October 7 at CGI Federal in Arlington\, Virginia\, or virtually\, for this inaugural half-day conference bringing together government\, industry\, and legal experts to address some of the most important compliance issues facing federal contractors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo register\, click here. For any assistance with registration\, please contact Mady Whiting at mady.whiting@thecgp.org. \nPreview the sessions below. Click here to view the full agenda. \nWho Should Attend?\nThis training conference is designed for professionals across the government contracting community responsible for managing contracts\, compliance\, legal risk\, and more\, including: \n\nContract managers and administrators\nIn-house counsel\nContract compliance professionals\nEthics and compliance teams\nOther professionals responsible for federal contract requirements and risk management\n\nAgenda Preview\nProcurement in the Age of AI: Ethics & Compliance in a Changing Federal Marketplace \n \nThe conference will feature a keynote session\, “Procurement in the Age of AI: Ethics & Compliance in a Changing Federal Marketplace\,” presented by Jessica Tillipman\, Associate Dean for Government Procurement Law Studies at The George Washington University Law School. The session will examine emerging AI-related risks across the procurement lifecycle and supply chain\, including organizational conflicts of interest\, AI-enabled fraud and False Claims Act exposure\, algorithmic collusion\, system manipulation\, and over-reliance on automated judgment. It will also explore practical compliance considerations for contractors as AI becomes increasingly integrated into their organizations\, subcontractors\, and federal procurement activities. \nActive Bystandership: The Missing Link in Corporate Risk Reduction \n \nAttendees will also hear from Jonathan Aronie\, Partner at Sheppard\, during “Active Bystandership: The Missing Link in Corporate Risk Reduction.” Active Bystandership is a practical approach that equips employees with the skills and confidence to intervene early when they see a colleague moving toward a potential mistake or compliance problem. Already used in high-stakes environments including aviation\, healthcare\, law enforcement\, and the military\, the approach offers contractors another tool for strengthening organizational culture and preventing problems before they result in costly compliance or enforcement issues. \nCompliance and the Civil False Claims Act \n \nChris Terranova\, Assistant Director\, Civil Fraud Section\, Commercial Litigation Branch\, Department of Justice; Alex Canizares\, Partner at Vinson & Elkins; Terra Fulham\, Partner at Covington; and Tirzah Lollar\, Partner at Arnold & Porter\, will provide perspectives on the False Claims Act and key compliance considerations for government contractors. \nAdditional speakers from government and industry are being invited to participate\, and more program details will be announced in the coming weeks.
