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. GovConnect is designed to bridge the gap between professionals and hiring companies, fostering economic resilience through collaboration and innovation.

GovConnect 2025 will bring together small and large government contractors, industry leaders, and qualified job seekers, particularly those affected by recent employment changes. The event will feature networking sessions, matchmaking opportunities, recruitment activities, and community-building moments. Our goal is to turn disruption into direction, empowering leaders and professionals to shape the future of the GovCon sector.
