&lt;br&gt;
What:&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;Get Your Business Lender-Ready&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many business owners think they are ready for funding until a lender evaluates areas of their business they didn’t expect, which can delay the process or cause them to miss funding opportunities. Understanding what lenders look for gives you time to address potential problems and strengthen your business before you apply.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this webinar, experts from Experian will introduce a four-pillar framework for evaluating and strengthening your business’s funding readiness. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how lenders view your business, where gaps in preparation can create risk and how to improve your lender profile.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this webinar, you will learn how to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Separate your personal and business finances to build credibility&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Improve cash-flow consistency and present a clearer financial story&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Build, review and monitor your business credit profile&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Identify credit-report errors and other issues before applying&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Organize the financial records and documents lenders may request&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Avoid common mistakes that can weaken a funding application&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Create a practical 90-day plan to become more lender-ready&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>The HIVE Virginia Beach Business Resource Center: Government Contracting Pricing Models (19 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;TASC/TGIC courtesy posting of this event does not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by TASC/TGIC.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Who: The HIVE Virginia Beach Business Resource Center&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
What:&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;Government Contracting Pricing Models&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pricing is one of the most critical—and misunderstood—elements of government proposals. In this session, we’ll explore how to develop compliant, competitive, and profitable pricing using government-specific models. You’ll learn the difference between direct and indirect costs, how to interpret and price CLINs (Contract Line Item Numbers), and how to structure a pricing narrative that tells your story and justifies your rates.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Participants will walk away with a better understanding of how to work with their finance teams or CPAs to ensure proposal pricing aligns with FAR requirements and customer expectations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Learning Objectives:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Learn the components of GovCon pricing models&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Create effective pricing narratives and price justifications&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Ensure compliance with FAR, cost realism, and pricing evaluation criteria&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;When: July 28, 2026, 1pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Where:&amp;nbsp; The HIVE,140 Independence Boulevard Virginia Beach, VA 23462&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;In FY25, the U.S. federal government awarded $194.13 billion in contracts to 76,270 small businesses. Total federal contract awards in FY25 totaled $834 billion, an increase of 7.47 over FY24. Nearly a quarter of all federal contracts went to small business, proving that it still pays to do business with the Government. This is a huge opportunity for small firms to grow their business. This class will show you where the Government is spending their money. We will cover these key areas.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;TASC/TGIC posting of this event does not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by TASC/TGIC.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Who: ASNE&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
What:&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;2026 Fleet Maintenance and Modernization Symposium&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" color="#333333" face="Lato"&gt;The American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) is excited to return to the East Coast and the Virginia Beach Convention Center for the 2026 Fleet Maintenance &amp;amp; Modernization Symposium (FMMS).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" color="#333333" face="Lato"&gt;The symposium will take place September 22–24, 2026. In addition to the professional Keynotes, Panels, Technical Paper presentations, and Innovation Theater discussions, FMMS will have maritime industry exhibitors in the Virginia Beach Convention Center Exhibit Hall, with superb government-industry networking opportunities!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" color="#333333" face="Lato"&gt;The Fleet Maintenance &amp;amp; Modernization Symposium also has partnership events — including the Industry/Navy Discussion Panel (INDP), the Port Engineers Symposium, and National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Panel Meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" color="#333333" face="Lato"&gt;ASNE's FMMS allows for an open forum of communications and exchange of technical information on ship maintenance and modernization between the Maritime Services, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Merchant Marine, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, Military Sealift Command, industry, academia, deck plate users, think tanks, Labs, FFRDCs, and [hopefully] you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" color="#333333" face="Lato"&gt;This forum seeks to engage everyone who has a stake in building, repairing, sailing, innovating, updating, training, fighting, and winning on or from the sea on a U.S. or allied military vessel. We are stronger when people with different backgrounds, education, jobs, trades, and experience discuss issues and solutions facing the fleet.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>APEX: Everything a Small Government Contractor Needs to Know about Teaming and Joint Ventures (01 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;TASC/TGIC courtesy posting of this event does not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by TASC/TGIC.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Who: APEX&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
What:&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;Everything a Small Government Contractor Needs to Know about Teaming and Joint Ventures&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Maximizing success as a small business government contractor often involves creating solid teaming partnerships whether under a prime-sub teaming agreement or a joint venture.&amp;nbsp; This webinar will provide essential guidance for small business government contractors on navigating the sometimes-complex legal landscape of teaming agreements and joint ventures in federal contracting. Participants will learn the fundamental differences between various partnership structures, including mentor-protégé relationships, subcontracting arrangements, and joint ventures, with particular emphasis on small business set-aside requirements and compliance obligations. The session will cover:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li style="line-height: 26px;"&gt;Key terms of teaming agreements including terms addressing subcontract awards, exclusivity, termination, disputes and choice of law, and workshare allocation.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="line-height: 26px;"&gt;Teaming agreement enforceability considerations.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="line-height: 26px;"&gt;Teaming agreements vs. joint ventures: pros and cons of each approach.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="line-height: 26px;"&gt;Joint ventures generally and use under SBA set-aside programs.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="line-height: 26px;"&gt;Structuring joint ventures compliant with SBA program requirements including key required terms and use of joint ventures under the SBA’s All-Small Mentor Protégé Program.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Attendees will gain practical insights into drafting effective teaming and joint venture agreements, avoiding common pitfalls that can jeopardize small business certifications, and structuring partnerships to maximize competitive advantages while maintaining compliance and minimizing risk.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When: October 1, 2026, 12:30-2:30pm&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Where:&amp;nbsp; The HIVE,140 Independence Boulevard Virginia Beach, VA 23462&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
