EVENT OVERVIEW

GovConnect is the area’s newest networking event, providing a dynamic platform for job seekers and businesses in the federal contracting space to connect, collaborate, and build meaningful relationships. The theme of this event — Uniting Businesses, Empowering People — captures both the spirit and the urgency of the moment. As government downsizing continues to affect communities like Loudoun County, businesses and professionals alike face challenges that call for a united, strategic response.
