Ice Miller partner Tim Belevetz will be participating in a panel discussion at the FORUM Founder's Circle reception. This is an invitation-only, candid gathering of founders who built their firms from the ground up. The firm is also a sponsor of the event.

Program Description:

The federal landscape has shifted. The government is no longer just looking for "hours for dollars"; they are hungry for packaged solutions that deliver immediate mission impact. As industry leaders rush to blend services with proprietary products—supercharged by AI accelerators—the very definition of a "GovCon company" is being rewritten. Join a curated room of founders for an evening focused on the GovCon 3.0 evolution.

We are moving past the era of simple P&Ls and into the era of the Valuation Stack. This isn't just about "selling your company"—it’s about building a firm that is fundamentally more valuable because it operates at the intersection of human expertise and machine efficiency. We’ll dive deep into:

• The Shift to Packaged Solutions: Why the government is pivoting away from pure-play staffing toward integrated offerings.
• AI as an Accelerator: Moving beyond the hype to use AI-enabled operations as a tangible margin expander.

• Alexa Tsui, GTM Expert and CEO of FORUM
