- How the Cornerstone Consortium functions as a gateway into DoD industrial base initiatives
- How to identify and respond to opportunities posted as Special Notices on SAM.gov
- How to submit white papers and unsolicited proposals
- How Other Transaction (OT) agreements under 10 U.S.C. 4022 (DoD

Whether you are a manufacturer, technology developer, workforce solutions provider, automation integrator, cybersecurity firm, or an innovative company seeking to contribute to strengthening the U.S. industrial base, this session will show you where the entry points are and how to pursue them intelligently.
