US Federal Contractor Registration (USFCR) and Blue Ocean Global Technology have accepted the opportunity to jointly deliver a keynote presentation and interactive workshop at the US Defense Leadership Forum Conference on February 22nd. Federal Contracting: Best Practices & Digital Reputation will be delivered by Christie Jackson, VP of Regulation & Compliance at US Federal Contractor Registration and Sameer Somal, CEO of Blue Ocean Global Technology.
The programs will focus on essential best practices for federal contracting and online reputation management, including actionable strategies for navigating System for Award Management (SAM) and General Services Administration (GSA) procedures.
