The Revolutionary FAR Overhaul in Practice: How to Find Consistency in the Change

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in federal contracting history — and the changes are already reshaping how government agencies and industry partners do business.

Agencies across the federal government are actively working to implement new policies, retrain their acquisition workforce, and standardize processes to align with the updated framework. For industry, the challenge is equally significant — understanding how to interpret the new rules consistently and adapt business practices to remain competitive and compliant. Hear about how agencies are putting policy into practice and what contractors and small businesses need to know to stay aware.

Join us for a dynamic, expert-led panel discussion where seasoned professionals break down what's changed, what it means for you, and how to stay ahead. 

Panel Participants:

·       Polly Hall, Acting Director, Federal Acquisition Institute and Chief Advisor for Acquisition, Innovation and Policy Integration for GSA

·       Sam Le, Managing Member Sam Le Law, Small Business Champion
