      <title>ASNE: 2026 Fleet Maintenance and Modernization Symposium (22 Sep 2026)</title>
      <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;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;When: September 22-24, 2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&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;

      <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: Finding Government Contracting Opportunities&lt;/font&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;

&lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;• Total spend for the most recent fiscal year&lt;br&gt;
• Where to find sub-contracting opportunities&lt;br&gt;
• Trends in Government spending&lt;br&gt;
• Competitive Intelligence&lt;br&gt;
• Market research (Data Mining)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;When: December 1, 2026, 10am -12pm&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&gt;Building on the momentum and branding of the 2026 summit, the 2027 program will expand to feature Joint Staff leaders and NATO coalition partners alongside Fleet commands, SYSCOMs, warfare centers, small business, and academia—deepening the focus on joint and allied information warfare, C4/cyber, maritime operations, and decision advantage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please mark your calendars now and plan to join us in downtown Norfolk for three days of keynotes, panels, workshops, an innovation showcase, and small business engagement as we continue to advance maritime operations and information warfare across the U.S. Navy, Joint Force, and NATO coalition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More information to come soon, including the official website, mobile app, sponsorship information, and agenda!&lt;/p&gt;
