OrangeSlices Winning Series

Marketing Rapid Fire - Winning in GovCon: Credibility, Visibility & Growth

In today’s GovCon market, visibility, credibility, and alignment with federal priorities are essential for growth. In this episode of the OrangeSlices AI Winning Series, industry experts share practical insights on how contractors can strengthen their market presence and position themselves to win more federal work.
 
The conversation focuses on three key pillars: building credibility through strategic associations, rankings, and awards; leveraging industry events as catalysts for growth rather than simple networking opportunities; and aligning messaging and positioning with the evolving federal procurement landscape.
Drawing from their experience supporting contractors across the ecosystem, the speakers share real-world perspectives on how companies are differentiating themselves, building influence, and navigating an increasingly competitive environment.
 
If you’re looking to sharpen your positioning, strengthen your visibility, and compete more effectively in the federal marketplace, this episode offers actionable insights to help guide your strategy.
 
Connect with the speakers, Shirley Collier, Ashley Gork, Stacey Piper, and Luke Voivoda.

Vanguard 250 - February 24, 2026

What are the firms at the top of the GovCon market doing differently — and why are they still winning while others stall?
Welcome to Vanguard 250 GovCon Gamechangers — the fast, candid conversation you cannot afford to miss.
On the heels of the 2026 Vanguard 250 announcement (highlighting the 250 companies consistently winning in today’s federal IT and consulting market), this episode goes beyond the list. We sit down with the advisors working behind the scenes with many of those top-performing firms — the leaders who see trends early, anticipate market shifts, and understand what truly separates sustained winners from the rest of the pack.
In this rapid-fire, high-impact conversation, you’ll gain cross-cutting insights you simply can’t get from inside a single company. We unpack the real data signals shaping the market, where leading firms are placing bets right now, and how successful GovCon leaders are positioning for 2026 — and already aligning for 2027.
If you care about growth, positioning, pipeline, and staying competitive in a shifting federal landscape, this isn’t just another webinar replay.
It’s the most valuable hour you can spend understanding how the best are actually winning — and what that means for your strategy next.
