SUMMARY:Emerging Issues: Regulation Making – the Process and the Important Role Businesses Play
DESCRIPTION:This series\, WPI’s Emerging Issues Series\, is intended as an information tool and resource for contract managers and those with a compliance function. The topics selected for the initial group of Webinars are just some of the important topics. Some have not held the spotlight like others but nevertheless they are important. Others\, such as Innovation and AI have recently emerged and have shown that they are not just a passing curiosity but truly topics of importance that will continue to impact DoD policy and provide procurement opportunities. These topics included in our first group\, are current topics that need attention and need to be addressed. We expect that over time other issues – topics will emerge and come to the forefront. As these topics are identified we will add them to this series. \nGovernment contractors are intimately involved with federal regulations such as the FAR and DFARS. While there is little a company can do about current regulations\, that is not true for future ones. Companies and the general public are invited to provide feedback on proposed rules. Comments are entered into the official record and reviewed. Take time to understand the process and help shape the future of federal contracting. \nPresenter: Marc Violante\, Director\, Federal Market Strategies\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nFor the list of Emerging Issues webinar\, please click here. \n\nWPI is Wisconsin’s APEX Accelerator

SUMMARY:Emerging Issues: Beyond Contracts: Conducting Business with the Federal Government
DESCRIPTION:This series\, WPI’s Emerging Issues Series\, is intended as an information tool and resource for contract managers and those with a compliance function. The topics selected for the initial group of Webinars are just some of the important topics. Some have not held the spotlight like others but nevertheless they are important. Others\, such as Innovation and AI have recently emerged and have shown that they are not just a passing curiosity but truly topics of importance that will continue to impact DoD policy and provide procurement opportunities. These topics included in our first group\, are current topics that need attention and need to be addressed. We expect that over time other issues – topics will emerge and come to the forefront. As these topics are identified we will add them to this series. \nContracts\, grants\, agreements\, and Other Transaction Authority are four different ways to “conduct business” with the government. Understand the similarities and differences between these business methods and why each is used. Further understand that methods and processes used for one method may not be automatically interchangeable with another method. \nPresenter: Marc Violante\, Director\, Federal Market Strategies\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nFor the list of Emerging Issues webinar\, please click here. \n\nWPI is Wisconsin’s APEX Accelerator

SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Negotiation Strategies in Federal Contracting
DESCRIPTION:Negotiating with the federal government can seem challenging and\, at times\, even frustrating.  Negotiators must not only be familiar with the positions and motivations of the Government\, they must also know and understand the rules and regulations that govern the negotiation process in federal procurements.  Further\, the scope of what is negotiable can vary.  Negotiations conducted as part of a pre-award competitive procurement for construction or for commercial items may be much more limited than the negotiations conducted for procurement of research and development or conducted in a sole source or post-award environment.  Join us and learn about negotiating with the federal government and how the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) could impact your negotiations. \nSpeaker: Carol Murphy\, Government Contract Specialist\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.  \nView a schedule of all upcoming Acquisition Hour webinars.

SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Overview of CPARS

SUMMARY:Moving the Northwest Wisconsin Advantage Forward – Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion on financial preparation\, current programs and resources as well as government contract opportunities for Northwestern Wisconsin businesses. \nMoving the Northwest Wisconsin Advantage Forward will be about making sure your business is financially fit BEFORE accepting additional funding or government contract and developing new market opportunities. \nWith lending changes and new lending programs due to COVID-19\, if you want to take advantage of recovery lending from a traditional or public revolving loan fund to complete your contract obligation\, you need to make sure your company is financially fit enough first.
