About the Conference

The Performance-Based Service Acquisition Community of Practice Virtual Conference created a very unique professional development opportunity for those in the contracting arena. Attendees heard from knowledgeable speakers on a wide array of topics, including project management, pricing arrangements for statements of work, performance metrics, legislation, regulatory issues, and more. The speakers included professionals from both government and industry to facilitate both points of view throughout the conference. In addition, attendees had the opportunity to take advantage of the unique forum created by the nature of a virtual conference, which allows for a more open exchange of information and ideas between both the participants and presenters.
