2026 FedCiv Summit | Potomac Officers Club
RegisterWHAT
Federal civilian agencies are entering a period of targeted investment driven by mission urgency, regulatory mandates, and emerging national priorities, including AI adoption and infrastructure resilience. For government contractors, these shifts are influencing where agencies concentrate resources and how industry partners can most effectively support civilian missions. The Potomac Officers Club invites you to the 2026 FedCiv Summit, where senior government leaders and industry executives will examine the challenges shaping the federal civilian market and the opportunities emerging in response.
Through executive-level discussions and agency-driven perspectives, this summit will explore how federal civilian agencies are translating priorities into action across their missions. Topics will include powering and scaling AI across the government; data, cloud, and compute infrastructure; cybersecurity and compliance-driven initiatives; workforce enablement and professional services; and cross-agency and enterprise-wide programs. Attendees will gain insight into where agencies are focusing resources, how priorities are influencing procurement and partnership decisions, and what government leaders expect from trusted industry partners, helping organizations anticipate demand, align capabilities, and support federal civilian missions with greater impact.
