From DOGE to Opportunity: Thriving in a Shifting Federal Landscape

Doing business with the federal government has always required adaptability, and today’s environment has introduced new dynamics that executives must understand to succeed. The creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), coupled with a wave of federal worker retirements, is reshaping how agencies operate, procure services, and partner with the private sector. This interactive breakout will begin with an overview of the past year—highlighting key developments, policy shifts, unexpected challenges and emerging opportunities impacting IT and Engineering staffing firms.

We will follow with an open conversation with fellow executives. Together, we will explore best practices for engaging with federal agencies, discuss practical steps firms should take to strengthen their positioning, and consider other avenues for growth—such as pursuing opportunities with state governments and alternative public-sector business models
