NEXUS - - Connected Acquisition Teams Get It Right the First Time!
DAU and the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) are partnering to host Nexus March 3-6, 2024. This event unites government and industry acquisition teams and provides a unique platform for cross-functional collaboration to tackle pressing issues in federal procurement, such as supply chain risk, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
In this episode, Jim and Scott interview Carly Cox, who is the President, and Chief Operating Officer of JJR Solutions, and Professor Julie Knechtel, professor of program management at DAU's Midwest Region. Carl and Julie are the MCs for this year's conference - they will bring the energy! In this podcast they talk about why they volunteered to MC the event, what is exciting and unique about it, and why you should consider attending. Jim and Scott will be conducting interviews of attendees, team leads, and speakers, and hope you will talk to them as you enter the conference center. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
This event is specifically designed for professionals in all functional areas within the acquisition community. Bringing all members of the team together (pricing, program management, logistics, contracts, legal etc.) is critical to providing the warfighter what they need more efficiently and with higher quality. Nexus is designed to do exactly that. Learn from and train with integrated teams who have broken barriers in space exploration, disaster response and beyond. They will share their successes and pitfalls. This is a great way to share knowledge across departments to help make better business and buying decisions.
