Merritt Group, Market Connections, and the Professional Services Council convened an in-person seminar on July 17, in Arlington, Virginia, to reveal the 2018 Federal Government Contractor Study. The study provided the top insights from a survey of 200 government contractors on the major challenges business development (BD) and marketing professionals face when selling in the federal space. A panel of federal contracting experts reviewed the study and led a discussion on its marketing and BD implications with an audience of more than 150 industry peers from across the federal contracting spectrum.
