New frontiers in space commercialization are opening procurement pathways that didn't exist two years ago. Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of how agencies evaluate, acquire, and deploy solutions. The firms that win in this environment are the ones that see the shift before it arrives and position accordingly.AQE Solutions invites you to two focused executive sessions during CBCF's Annual Legislative Conference week — designed for the leaders, founders, and practitioners who don't just want to understand these shifts, but who intend to act on them.SESSION 1Built to Win in the Space Economy: Expanding Opportunity Through Innovation, Procurement, and PartnershipThe space economy is no longer the domain of a handful of aerospace primes. Federal agencies are actively seeking small and mid-size firms that bring innovation, agility, and mission-aligned capabilities to the table — from satellite infrastructure and cybersecurity to supply chain logistics and data analytics. The question is no longer whether your firm belongs in the conversation. It's whether you're positioned to win when the opportunity arrives.This session brings together procurement leaders, industry experts, and GovCon strategists to map the landscape and show you exactly where the entry points are — and what it takes to compete.What you'll walk away with:— A clear picture of the federal space economy procurement pipeline and where small business set-asides and partnership vehicles create real openings— Actionable intelligence on how agencies are evaluating innovation-driven proposals — what scores and what doesn't— Direct exposure to the teaming and joint-venture strategies that are winning contracts in space-adjacent sectors right now— Connections with the procurement officials and industry leaders who are shaping how these dollars flowSESSION 2Built to Win: Creating Economic Opportunity Through Federal Procurement, Innovation, and Strategic GrowthHow Federal Acquisition Leaders Are Using Digital Procurement and Innovative Buying Practices to Accelerate Mission SuccessEvery major federal agency is under pressure to buy smarter, move faster, and deliver outcomes that the old procurement playbook was never designed to produce. AI-driven evaluation tools, digital marketplaces, and Other Transaction Authorities are no longer pilot programs — they are becoming the default. For contractors, this means the firms that understand the new buying logic will capture market share. The ones still optimizing for yesterday's FAR-based procurement cycle will watch it happen from the sidelines.This session puts you in the room with the acquisition leaders and technologists driving these changes — and gives you the strategic framework to align your business development with how agencies actually want to buy.What you'll walk away with:— Firsthand insight into how federal acquisition leaders are using AI to accelerate source selection, market research, and vendor evaluation— A practical understanding of the digital procurement platforms and innovative contracting vehicles that are reshaping how agencies spend— Strategies for positioning your firm as an AI-ready, digitally fluent partner — the profile agencies are actively seeking— The competitive intelligence to anticipate procurement shifts before they reach the street — and shape your capture strategy accordinglyNETWORKING RECEPTION TO FOLLOWFollowing the sessions, join us for an afternoon networking reception at The Gathering Spot — Washington's premier private membership club. Continue the conversations that matter, connect with the panelists and peers you came to meet, and leave with relationships that extend well beyond ALC week. Light refreshments will be provided.Agenda🕑: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMSESSION 1 Built to Win in the Space EconomyInfo: Expanding Opportunity Through Innovation, Procurement, and Partnership This session brings together procurement leaders, industry experts, and GovCon strategists to map the landscape and show you exactly where the entry points are — and what it takes to compete.
