About Capital Week

What to expect: Strategic Insight, Industry-Government Engagement, and Networking Opportunities

This is your opportunity to gain exclusive insight into federal infrastructure initiatives and hear directly from senior leaders at DOD and federal agencies—including USACE, NAVFAC, Air Force, and the VA—about the upcoming federal budget, the infrastructure bill, and how growing program requirements will increase the support the services need from industry. Open exclusively to SAME members, the event provides a preview of the coming fiscal-year construction programs of the uniformed services and select federal agencies.

Key elements of the conference:

• Concurrent Briefings Presented by Government Agencies
• Executive Leaders Panel
• Army, Navy, and Air Force Mega Sessions
• Networking Opportunities
• IGE Summit, Ukraine session, and Sentinel Mega Series (additional registration required)

Who Should Attend?

Ideal for SAME members involved in federal infrastructure planning, project delivery, contracting, and acquisition. If you want to shape and respond to next year’s priorities, this is your event.

Your Takeaways:

• Jump-start acquisition and partnership strategies

• Gain foresight on budget trends and program priorities

• Connect directly with high-level decision-makers

“Across the spectrum (at Capital Week), we see better engagement, or earlier engagement from instructors and project development, as a key to improving many of these aspects."

 – Capt. Keith Hamilton, P.E., SES, USN (Ret.), Chief Engineer and Assistant Commander for Planning, Design and Construction, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command
