Agenda

The Department of Energy has a broad mission that touches on many parts of the federal government and the U.S. economy as a whole. This opening session will set the stage for understanding the department and how its spending lines up with its mission. You’ll learn how the department spends its money, where its priorities are and the opportunities in the pipeline. When you consider issues such as climate change, power grid challenges and safety of nuclear weapons and materials, few agencies have the kind of responsibilities that the Energy Department has.

Lisa Mundt and Amber Hart of the Pulse of GovCon will share their insights on the department and provide a starting point for winning new business.

Like every government agency, the Energy Department has small business goals. Ron Pierce will share how Energy meets those goals and what’s the best way to work with the department. This presentation will include insights on upcoming contracts and other initiatives where small businesses can play a role as well as advice on common pitfalls and mistakes companies make when approaching the Energy Department.

Executives from two major Energy Department contractors will talk about their business at the department and what they see as their customer’s greatest needs and challenges. They’ll also share their partnering strategies and where they are investing for long-term success. Key takeaways will include technology trends and the expanding role Energy will play in addressing emerging challenges such as climate change.
