2026 Federal Contracting Forum: Win Perform Comply VIRTUAL

Government contracting success isn’t just about winning the bid — it starts there.

Join us on March 18, for a complimentary interactive conversation moderated by Todd Hatherly (FPS) and featuring Nia Mahallati (Shipley), Jeff White (JA White & Associates) and Sarah Sprockett (FPS). This forum is designed for experienced government contracting professionals looking to align business development, program execution, and compliance. In today’s environment, success reflects more than regulatory change; it requires a fundamental shift in strategy, tactics, and execution across federal contract awards.

Using the integrated Win Perform Comply framework, this forum explores how capture strategy, proposal and pricing decisions, contract execution, and compliance must function as a single, continuous lifecycle, rather than disconnected disciplines. Attendees will examine how early capture and pricing choices shape execution risk, how performance outcomes influence compliance posture and future awards, and how compliance can serve as an enabler of operational success, not a post-award constraint.

Through real-world examples and facilitated discussion, Nia and Jeff will highlight common breakdowns between winning work, performing it profitably, and sustaining compliance — and offer practical strategies to close those gaps. As part of the Win discussion, Shipley will address how solution formulation, pricing, and capture discipline directly define proposal commitments, execution feasibility, and compliance risk at award.
