In this session, we will introduce students to guidance issued by Federal Agencies following Executive Order 14110 and considerations Federal Agencies are to consider when developing, procuring, and deploying Artificial Intelligence. We will examine cybersecurity and privacy considerations that permeate the procurement of Artificial Intelligence and areas of negotiation when procuring Artificial Intelligence. This session will also note potential further developments in the Federal Government's pursuit of Artificial Intelligence in following years. Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, students will be able to:  Identify the unique issues resident in procuring Artificial Intelligence  Areas of negotiation the Federal Government should consider when purchasing Artificial Intelligence  Cybersecurity and privacy issues that are areas of particular concern for Federal Agencies

After years of delays, the proposed Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program Rule (32 CFR) is now expected to become a final, published rule by the end of 2024. For Defense contractors, this means that official CMMC audits can begin taking place after that. The enforcement rule for CMMC (48 CFR) is expected to become final sometime in 2025 and appear in DoD contracts in a phased approach. CMMC certification will become a prerequisite for contract award eligibility, and failure to achieve certification may result in ineligibility to bid and win contract awards. To achieve CMMC Level 2 certification (expected to be the most common), DoD contractors must both implement controls and requirements across their in-office systems, and require their cloud service providers that handle sensitive CUI to demonstrate FedRAMP Moderate equivalence. In this 60-minute informational session, Deltek's Michael Greenman will provide the latest updates on the CMMC program and discuss how Deltek is supporting CMMC compliance efforts as a Cloud Service Provider to streamline your compliance journey. Topics to be covered during this webinar will include (Learning Objectives):  A program update/refresher on CMMC 2.0 and the latest timeline expectations  Requirements of Cloud Service Providers and the risks with strategies to mitigate them  The concept of Shared Responsibility with Cloud Service Providers (CSPs)  How Costpoint GCCM's FedRAMP Moderate Ready status supports CMMC compliance efforts

This session will address the performance phase of the government contract lifecycle, where numerous compliance obligations must be actively managed as part of a comprehensive corporate compliance program. These requirements span a broad range of areas, including cost and pricing, cybersecurity, domestic preferences, supply chain restrictions, export controls, intellectual property, and labor and employment law. Ensuring compliance across these domains necessitates close collaboration among functional teams-such as Finance, Legal, Contracts, and Operations-to effectively leverage specialized expertise and reduce the overall administrative burden. Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:  Understand the essential compliance requirements associated with the performance phase of government contracts.  Learn how to establish compliant practices using your Company's people, processes, and technology, including best practices.  Recognize how to monitor and track ongoing compliance with the requirements during contract performance.
