Once a top-secret U.S. government relocation facility for Congress, The Bunker is now open to anyone interested in reliving a legendary piece of The Greenbrier history.

Falconry, the art of tracking game using trained birds of prey, has been performed for more than 4,000 years. The Greenbrier brings this ancient practice to its guests through lessons taught by trained professionals

This walking tour of the public lobbies describes the interior of the hotel… its décor and its development. The Greenbrier opened in 1913; served as an Army Hospital during WWII; was redecorated by Dorothy Draper in the late 1940’s. Today, it continues to be a leading historic hotel in America.

This is all the craze these days and a great team activity. Once the activity is over, network with fellow attendees over complimentary drinks.

Experience the great outdoors with an  invigorating hike through The Greenbrier’s vast terrain and then reward yourself for all of the calories burned with specialty low-calorie cocktails, designed by our beverage team. Sip  them all, and then learn to make your favorite on your own.

PSC's President & CEO, David Berteau, will offer a sneak peak of Tuesday's session: Federal Budget Outlook: Navigating the New Administration’s Priorities

As federal agencies strive to modernize their IT systems, operations, and processes, establishing a clear and effective structure—along with industry support—for driving this transformation is critical. This panel will explore how federal agencies can build the right framework to successfully implement IT modernization initiatives, ensuring that the right solutions are considered and supported at every stage.

With several data-related initiatives underway within the federal acquisition system, currently serving government officials will discuss their agencies’ perspective on category management, the Better Contracting Initiative (if still relevant), and strategic management of acquisition data and information. For what purposes are agencies requesting—or requiring—that companies share acquisition-related data? How are agencies using, sharing, and protecting all of these data? How can government officials better communicate with industry regarding data collection, use, dissemination, and protections?

Agencies—and even offices within a single agency—have chosen to allow differing teaming arrangements for various opportunities. They also vary ways in which proposal evaluation teams evaluate such arrangements. In this session, federal officials will share insights about what drives these decisions about allowable arrangements. From their perspective, what are the benefits or drawbacks of various teaming structures and operations? How do they think about joint ventures, including but not limited to mentor-protege JVs? Why have different contract vehicles (e.g., NASA SEWP, CIO-SP4, Alliant 3, OASIS+, DHS PACTS III) leveraged different approaches to teaming?

While Other Transaction Authority has existed for decades, government agencies and offices have increasingly turned to OT agreements and other tools outside of the Federal Acquisition Regulation—whether to accelerate acquisition timelines, access non-traditional companies, or pursue other acquisition goals. Some agencies are even requesting new non-FAR-based authorities. This panel will offer government perspectives on the advantages of such tools. For example, what are recent trends in OT agreements? Commercial Solution Opening programs (CSOPs)? Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) opportunities? Why are some agencies leveraging—or seeking to leverage—tools outside of the FAR or agency supplements? How, if at all, has increased grant funding impacted federal contractors, either as teaming or sub-tier opportunities or as an alternative to contracts?

This session will take a deeper look at the state of the GovCon M&A market, giving an overview of current trends and recent activity; the impact of recent changes to regulatory, statutory, and administrative rules; and the effect of the Trump Administration’s executive orders and agency cuts on the competitive landscape for buyers and sellers. Speakers will provide a forecast for 2025, letting companies know how to navigate and prepare for the expected disruption and uncertainty ahead. Attendees will hear more about financial and contingency planning, what markets will stay competitive, and the factors driving valuations.   

As the new administration implements its priorities, the federal contracting workforce faces a period of transformation and uncertainty. All indications point to fewer numbers through either RIFs, buyouts, or voluntary separations.  What remains unclear – will this mean fewer bodies doing the same level of work – assisted by technology, or simply less government focusing on fewer programs?  Contractor workforces will need to adjust to the new reality, along with their own companies’ application of recent Executive Orders mandating Return to the Office and scrubbing DEI initiatives.  Could we finally be confronted by the much vaunted, never happened #GreatResignation? Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how the federal contracting sector can navigate this period of change, ensuring a resilient and skilled workforce.

Featuring PSC’s President & CEO David Berteau, this session will explore the new Administration’s anticipated budget priorities, shifts in funding allocations, Executive Orders and other policy statements, and potential impacts on federal contracts. What do we know about the Administration’s focus areas? FY26 budgets? Programmatic changes? And what are we tracking as new leaders arrive, and begin to influence, department and agency policies?

Join us for 9 holes on the Meadows course.
