FPS proudly presents the 2026 Year in Review (YIR), December 8–10, 2026, at the UVA Darden in Crystal City.

Join us for the 3rd Annual FPS Year in Review, two and a half days of focused, high-impact discussion on the developments shaping Federal contracting.

YIR 2026 will examine the most significant statutory, regulatory, and enforcement changes affecting industry and government, including NDAA 2026, FAR overhaul initiatives, CAS changes, cybersecurity mandates, supply chain challenges, and other key developments. Each 45–60 minute session features leading practitioners and executives delivering practical analysis of FY26 updates and what they mean for 2027 and beyond.

From compliance and cost issues to bid protests, AI, data rights, M&A activity, and DCAA/DCMA trends, the program is designed to give you practical insight in an executive-level format.

Year in Review 2026 is the must-attend Federal contracting event of the year.
