As you put the finishing touches on your proposals and as submission season winds down, it can be easy to step back and refuse to think about work for another minute longer. And while you should take a break and refresh your mind after the busy season, you’ll want to avoid dropping the ball on planning for the next fiscal year.
In order to stay ahead of the curve, join EMD Strategies on Wednesday, August 28th, from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm for an interactive workshop event. You’ll participate in four sessions that will walk you through all of the steps you’ll need to effectively plan for FY 2020.
You’ll start the day working with experts to evaluate and improve your capabilities statement. During the next session, you will match your capabilities to GSA Schedules. After lunch, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the Federal Acquisition Regulations, and you will end the day evaluating a proposal through a government lens. Throughout the day, you’ll have opportunities to network with other attendees and we’ll join together at the end for a happy hour.
To ensure our experts can spend time and work with every attendee, space is very limited. Don’t miss out and book for you and your colleagues now.
