SUMMARY:Understanding the Berry Amendment\, Buy American Act (BAA)\, Trade Agreements\, and the Nonmanufacturer Rule (2025 Update)
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re new to government sales or have been selling to federal agencies and the Department of Defense for years\, the landscape is changing. For the past 60 years\, the United States has increasingly outsourced and offshored manufacturing—but that’s shifting. Today\, government statutes and regulations are moving toward rebuilding a more domestic supply chain. \nWith the rise of strategic sourcing and category management\, it’s critical to understand how the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Non-Manufacturer Rule (NMR) apply to both full and open competitions and set-aside procurements. For example\, as of October 2023\, the domestic component threshold increased to 65%. If your company has been selling to the government for years\, these updated regulations may affect your competitiveness and market share. \nIf you’re unsure how BAA\, NMR\, and trade agreements impact your business\, this is a must-attend session. We’ll break down the Buy American Act\, Trade Agreements Act\, the Berry Amendment\, the Non-Manufacturer Rule\, and show you how to quickly determine which ones apply to you. We’ll also cover key regulatory updates\, the differences between manufacturers and distributors\, common pitfalls for small businesses\, and share several real-world case studies. \nThe session is led by Mr. Frank\, a nationally recognized expert in aligning government sales with business strategy. A #1 bestselling author\, public speaker\, and emcee for the National Veterans Conference\, he is widely regarded as one of the top GovCon small business experts in the country. His training is consistently rated as real-world\, highly educational\, and thought-provoking. \nWho Should Attend: \n\nSmall business owners currently selling to the federal government or seeking to enter the market\nManufacturers and distributors wanting to understand how domestic preference rules affect eligibility and competitiveness\nGovernment contractors impacted by Buy American\, Trade Agreements\, or the Non-Manufacturer Rule\nBusiness development and compliance professionals responsible for navigating federal procurement regulations\nCompanies selling to the Department of Defense (DoD) or other federal agencies under set-aside or full-and-open contracts\nLongtime government vendors needing to adapt to recent regulatory changes\, such as the increased domestic content threshold\n\nIn short\, this webinar is for any business involved—or looking to get involved—in federal contracting and needing clarity on domestic sourcing rules and compliance.

SUMMARY:Rocky Mountain Cyberspace Symposium 2024
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Rocky Mountain Cyberspace Symposium 2024 (RMCS24)! The Rocky Mountain Chapter of AFCEA is once again honored to invite you to our annual forum for industry\, academia\, and government to discuss and propose solutions to the challenges of cybersecurity\, community cyber readiness and homeland defense facing our nation. Our theme this year is “Posturing of Cyber Forces for Near-Peer Conflict.”  \n  \nAs the digital landscape continues to evolve\, the significance of cyberspace in modern warfare cannot be overstated. In the realm of near-peer conflict\, where the adversaries possess comparable technological capabilities\, the posturing of cyber forces becomes paramount. RMCS24 will explore the multifaceted challenges and opportunities associated with the strategy\, policies and workforce development required to effectively prepare for near-peer engagements.  \n  \nSome of the topics for discussion include:  \n  \n\nCross-Domain Integration \nThreat Assessment and Intelligence Fusion \nPublic and Private Collaboration \nInnovation and Adaptation \nTalent Acquisition\, Training and Retention \n\nOur Exhibit Hall will be full of industry\, government\, academia and non-profit organizations that will give you the opportunity to learn about cutting edge cyber technologies relevant to these challenges\, and the chance to share your own ideas with peers from across the nation. Whether you are an individual attendee\, a sponsor\, an exhibitor\, a speaker\, or one of our many volunteers\, we know you’ll find this year’s symposium a world-class event\, hosted at a world-class venue … with no entrance fee for military and government attendees.  \nOur Cyberspace Symposium not only brings us together to exchange ideas related to today’s toughest challenges\, it also allows our chapter to make a tremendous investment in the future of technical fields — allowing us to donate more than $500\,000 for scholarships\, grants and other STEM-related activities across the community this year! \nRMCS24 is poised to be another great event. I hope you will join us in making this yet another successful symposium! \nJason Simmons\, Lt Colonel\, USAF (Ret) \nChairman\, RMCS24
