AFCEA DC B2B Federal Budget Networking Event

Join AFCEA DC for an evening of timely market intelligence, strategic insight, and networking with professionals across the defense and federal technology industry. 

We’ll be joined by David F. Taylor, Founder & CEO of Federal Budget IQ, known as the “Wayne Gretzky of Capitol Hill” for his ability to understand where federal dollars are headed. Like Gretzky’s famous approach of “skating to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been,” David looks beyond Congressional headlines to track where funding will ultimately flow—and what it means for the defense market.

As we enter a pivotal FY27 budget cycle and consequential midterm election environment, David will share his perspective on the forces shaping the Department of Defense market, where funding is headed, and the opportunities ahead. His insights go beyond the appropriations process to reveal what happens after the headlines—when the dollars actually move.

Following the discussion, connect with industry peers and exchange perspectives on an increasingly dynamic federal marketplace.

Whether you want to understand what’s ahead for FY27 or anticipate where the market is headed, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.
