Thought Leadership Dinner "AI, Acquisition and American Dominance"

​AI, Acquisition, and American Dominance
A Conversation with Congressman Rich McCormick

The FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act just cleared the House Armed Services Committee, authorizing $1.15 trillion for America's national defense. As that money flows into contracts, programs, and procurement cycles, the question for every leader in this room is simple: what does that mean for you, and are you positioned to compete for it?

Join us for an intimate executive roundtable dinner co-hosted by GovSignals and Unusual Ventures, featuring Congressman Rich McCormick (GA-07) as our guest of honor. A Marine and Navy veteran and member of the House Armed Services Committee, Congressman McCormick was a key contributor to the FY2027 NDAA - working directly with HASC Chairman Rogers to shape provisions that will define the defense contracting landscape for years to come.

This dinner is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the Congressman on what he fought for in the bill, what he needs industry to deliver, and where he sees the biggest gaps between policy intent and operational reality. From there, we'll open the floor to the leaders in the room - a candid exchange on how AI is reshaping the way defense contractors identify opportunities, build capture strategy, and win in this new environment.
