8th Annual DOD Contract Management Update (In Person – Oshkosh, WI)

The Government and Defense contractors are facing increasing challenges – supply shortages, cost escalation, labor shortages, new requirements, and security challenges to name a few. This year’s event will focus on gaining a better understanding of the current supply chain dynamics, current impacts, and requirements.
