Where CMS Industry Relationships Begin

Small Businesses • Large Businesses • Government Acquisition Leaders

Build the Relationships That Lead to Your Next CMS Opportunity

Looking to expand your federal partnerships, strengthen your CMS pipeline, and connect directly with prime contractors and acquisition leaders?

PartnerConnect 2026 is designed specifically for CMS-focused small businesses seeking meaningful teaming relationships before the next opportunity is released. Unlike a traditional conference, every aspect of PartnerConnect 2026 is designed to maximize high-value conversations and create opportunities for future collaboration.

We Listened. We Made Changes.

Based on attendee feedback, PartnerConnect 2026 replaces traditional presentations with structured networking, targeted introductions, and dedicated time to build relationships with organizations shaping future CMS procurements.

Why Attend?

• Meet face-to-face with leading CMS prime contractors actively building teams
• Introduce your capabilities through structured 15-minute meetings
• Connect with CMS acquisition and program representatives
• Learn about CMS acquisition vehicles and contracting pathways
• Build relationships before opportunities are released
• Expand your network with fellow CMS-focused small businesses

Event Highlights

• Meet directly with 15 leading large-business CMS prime contractors

Doors will open for registration, a continental breakfast, and informal networking before the structured rotations begin.

Each participating small business will take part in a series of structured 15-minute meetings with large-business sponsors and federal resource representatives. Every meeting is designed to help you introduce your company, showcase your capabilities, discuss customer needs, and explore future teaming opportunities.

PartnerConnect 2026 brings together CMS-focused small businesses, large prime contractors, and federal acquisition professionals to create partnerships that strengthen proposal teams, expand capabilities, and improve competitive positioning for future CMS opportunities.

Past PartnerConnect events have resulted in new teaming relationships, strategic partnerships, and business opportunities across the CMS community. The NCMA Woodlawn Small Business Committee invites you to be one of this year’s select participants.
