About this Event
Are you ready to turn your skills in AI, automation, data, or technology into real revenue through government contracting? This session is designed for entrepreneurs, consultants, and professionals seeking to enter and compete in the government contracting marketplace.
Join us for the AI GovCon Meetup, a structured, hands-on training focused on equipping participants with the knowledge, tools, and strategies required to identify, evaluate, and pursue government contract opportunities. Hosted by Dr. Ebony Grey under the nonprofit BrandHer, this free community event is centered on expanding access, building capability, and creating pathways to economic opportunity across federal, state, and corporate sectors.
This is a working session, not a lecture. Participants will engage in guided exercises, apply frameworks in real time, and leave with actionable outputs that support immediate next steps in government contracting.
What You Will Learn
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how government contracting operates across multiple sectors, including federal, state, and corporate environments. The session will cover where AI-driven services are currently in demand, how to identify viable contract opportunities, and how to navigate key procurement portals. Attendees will learn how to conduct a structured Go/No-Go assessment, understand the fundamentals of building a government contracting team, and develop a practical strategy to begin pursuing opportunities.
What You Will Walk Away With
Each participant will leave with a draft government contracting strategic plan tailored to their business or skill set. Attendees will identify three to five real contract opportunities aligned with their capabilities and gain clarity on where and how to find additional opportunities. Participants will develop a Go/No-Go decision-making framework, outline a basic government contracting team structure, and receive a 30-day action plan to support execution.
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for entrepreneurs, small business owners, AI consultants, developers, technologists, data analysts, automation specialists, coaches, consultants, and service providers. It is also appropriate for professionals exploring new revenue streams and beginners seeking a clear and structured entry point into government contracting.
Why This Matters
Government agencies and large organizations are actively investing in artificial intelligence, automation, and data-driven solutions. While the opportunity is significant, many individuals and businesses lack access to the knowledge and systems required to compete effectively. This session addresses that gap by providing practical guidance, real-world context, and a clear path to entry.
