Federal Government Shutdown Averted: What Does New Budget Deal Mean for the Federal Market?

Come Hear the New Reality Directly from the Federal Owners The 2011 AGC Federal Contractors Conference will be held May 2-5, 2011, at The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. This meeting is the only national event where contractors and federal agency personnel can meet in a collaborative forum to review federal construction contracting issues and trends 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, foster better communication, and create real solutions. If you are engaged in any aspect of constructing, designing, or planning a Federal project and you are 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. Continuing on the success of separate concurrent tracks that highlight each of the unique federal and federally-assisted markets, AGC has added an additional new track of education sessions to help contractors at all experience levels better understand and be successful in the federal and federally-assisted markets. The Water Infrastructure Track includes meetings with agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Water, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Army Corps of Engineers – Civil Works Directorate. The Federal Facilities Track includes meetings with the General Services Administration, the International Construction Agencies, and the Military Construction agencies of the Department of Defense. The Highway and Transportation Track features meetings with the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration and the transit and rail agencies.
