The Pirate Code of GovCon

Help write the GovCon Pirate Code aboard the historic USS Constellation - open bar, cannon firing, pirate attire, and a great cause.

Every acquisition pro, program leader, contractor, technologist, and mission partner knows there are unwritten rules of government contracting - the realities that never make it into policy manuals, regulations, or trainings. We’re bringing the GovCon community together aboard the historic USS Constellation to define them.

Join government and industry leaders for night of conversation and collaboration as we work together to create the first-ever Pirate Code of GovCon - a crowdsourced collection of the unwritten rules, practical wisdom, and hard truths that shape how work really gets done across government and industry.

The Experience

Step aboard the USS Constellation, the last all-sail warship built by the United States Navy and one of area’s most iconic historic landmarks.

Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Connect with leaders from government, industry, and the innovation community
• Participate in facilitated discussions exploring the realities of GovCon
• Contribute your perspective to the Pirate Code of GovCon
• Explore the historic vessel and its rich naval history
• Help load and fire a real cannon aboard the ship
• Enjoy a premium open bar and plentiful hors d’oeuvres throughout the evening

By the end of the night, attendees will have helped create a living collection of insights that will inform future Collabolutions programming, workshops, white papers, and community initiatives.
