That's a wrap on ! 🎉
What an incredible few days. We had a great time exhibiting and connecting with so many talented people doing meaningful work across the federal and defense community. The energy throughout the conference was outstanding, and the networking events and socials did not disappoint. (Shoutout to the brave GovCons who got on mechanical bulls at Boots, Bulls & Business. You know who you are. 🤠)
A few exhibit hall standouts that caught our attention:
9th Way Insignia wins the creativity award. A life-sized cybersecurity voodoo doll. Yes, really. It was one of the most memorable conversation starters on the exhibit floor.
SYMCUE is tackling a topic that most organizations overlook when investing in AI: the human side. They focus on building the critical thinking and Human-AI teaming skills that help workforces actually get value from the tools they use.
Struction Solutions brought a few impressive drones to the floor, giving attendees a closer look at how aerial technology is being applied to disaster response, infrastructure inspection, and public safety.
And we also made a new robot friend from Aquia. 🤖
It was especially great catching up with our Dayton friends and making a few new ones along the way. The connections and relationships are always among the best parts of events like VETS.
To everyone who stopped by our booth, grabbed coffee with us, or crossed paths with us at one of the networking events, thank you. This community is one of a kind, and we are already looking forward to next year.
