Changes to management priorities that come with every new administration also mean changes for those seeking to do business with the federal government. President Trump has also utilized his position and the government’s purchasing power to directly engage the private sector on spending and procurement issues. While many of these changes present opportunities, there are also risks.


The Trump Administration and the new Congress are expected to begin working on a number of issues critical to government contractors. The panel will address several of these issues, including:


  • The President's Management Agenda
  • Budget caps, the end of the sequester, and the appropriations landscape
  • Potential provisions in the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act impacting the acquisition community

Panelists:

  • Rob Burton, Partner, Crowell & Moring
  • Brian McLaughlin, Founding Partner, Imperium Global Advisors
  • Jordon Sims, Founding Partner, Imperium Global Advisors

State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy.
