Recommended for: DoD leaders in the area of Cyber Warfare & Security, Information Technology professionals (managers, business development, and senior technical), and commercial and government acquisition professionals.

This year’s seminar will present three senior executive speakers giving their perspectives on cyber security, covering any impressions regarding procurement of these services and where this type of service is trending. We expect them to share thoughts on the acquisition process for these types of government services in light of current acquisition reform by Congress. After each speaker's presentation there will be a short question and answer panel to interact with the audience.

NCMA will offer a three-hour Acquisition Professional Development certificate for attendees.
