About the ConferenceThe AGC Federal Contractors Conference is the only national event where AGC contractors and Federal agency personnel can meet in a neutral forum and review procurement and contracting issues from around the United States. These insightful and highly productive exchanges have solidified the need for both Federal construction contractors and the Federal construction agencies to share information on a wide variety of issues and foster better communication and real solutions. Who Should Attend?If you are engaged in any aspect of constructing, designing, or planning a Federal project and you are either a general contractor, specialty contractor, service/supplier, attorney or any other important stakeholder already engaged in the Federal market, this conference has a place for you. If you are interested in learning more about Federal contracting opportunities and how to get started, this conference is a great place to begin your learning experience. AGC chapter leadership and staff are also invited to attend and be a part of the great meeting. AGC contractor members who perform Federal work are served by three Occupational Divisions - the Federal and Heavy Construction, the Highway and Transportation, and the Municipal & Utilities Divisions. Division members perform a diverse range of projects including building construction for agencies such as the General Services Administration, military construction projects for our Armed Services highway and transportation projects for our nation, and water resources projects that benefit our nation's navigation and flood control. The Occupational Divisions provide members from specific industry segments the opportunity to stay informed of emerging issues and trends that are relevant to the type of construction work they perform every day. If you have any questions regarding the 2010 Federal Contractors Conference or sponsoring an event at the Conference, please contact AGC of America's Federal & Heavy Construction Division Staff:
Capitol Hill VisitsConstituent visits are vital to a successful advocacy strategy on Capitol Hill. Given the pressing legislation currently being considered in Congress, it is imperative that your elected officials are aware of AGC's position on issues of importance to the construction industry.
