Join us for an informal fireside chat to better understand how ideas turn into approved investments. This is a safe, candid space to ask tough questions about funding marketing tools, pursuing sponsorships, or advocating for initiatives that support firm growth. Our speakers will share real-world insights and practical strategies for building a strong business case, aligning with leadership priorities, and clearly communicating value. Whether you’re part of a large team or managing multiple roles, you’ll walk away with takeaways you can apply immediately.

Key Takeaways:

• This will be an informal, candid discussion where marketing and BD professionals, especially in Federal, AEC, DOT, and DoD sectors, can learn how to get their ideas approved and funded, understand what leadership evaluates, and ask the tough questions they often avoid.
