AFCEA Northern Virginia (NOVA) Chapter

The AFCEA NOVA GAME Committee is bringing the GovCon community together for an intimate morning of structured mentorship and real conversation.

This isn't a typical networking breakfast. It's a room full of people — from government, military, and industry — who are ready to go deeper than a business card exchange.

Attendees will hear from lightning round speakers, then gather in small, facilitated mentor circles designed to spark honest conversation across career stages, sectors, and experience levels.

The goal is simple: walk out with a connection worth continuing.

Who Should Attend: This event is for the full GovCon community — no matter where you are in your journey. Whether you're an emerging professional, a mid-career practitioner, a senior leader, or a government or military professional engaging with industry — there's a seat at the table for you.

The GovCon Advancement Mentoring & Engagement (GAME) Committee serves as a dynamic forum uniting government, military, and industry professionals across the GovCon ecosystem. Our purpose is to build bridges between experience and opportunity—connecting senior and emerging leaders in STEM, leadership, and federal service through intentional mentorship, engagement, and collaboration.

GAME fosters an inclusive, cross-generational community where members can learn, lead, and give back—strengthening the workforce that powers innovation and national security.

All proceeds from GAME events — after costs — support STEM scholarships and educational grants.
