Federal Insights Exchange

Engage Federal Agencies in Collaborative Sessions: ACT-IAC Federal Insights Exchange

One of the main goals of ACT-IAC is the advancement of government services through the cooperative actions of government and industry.  Through the learning and engagement of our members, ACT-IAC is committed to foster better communication between our industry and government members.  The ACT-IAC Federal Insights Exchange supports that goal by focusing on bringing industry and government executives together for short-duration programing where agencies leaders can share priorities, challenges, success stories on topics critical to a specific agency. 

The ACT-IAC Federal Insight Exchange Goals are:

• Facilitate and enable early, regular, and constructive engagement with the goal of improving the productivity of acquisition activities
• Create a nexus where agency-specific needs can be informed by the Communities of Interest (COIs) that bring advanced thinking on technology, business processes, and human engagement
• Enable both federal agencies' and industry to recognize areas most likely to produce positive mission outcomes in the form of greater efficiency, contract savings and improved requirements development.
