ACEC's Lynn Schloesser joined the podcast today to discuss ACEC's first ever reverse industry day between the ACEC Water, Energy and Environment Committee and EPA.  

Unlike regular industry days, reverse industry days put agency acquisition staff in the audience while industry presents their perspectives of doing business with the government.  To make the event even more unique, ACEC partnered with the Professional Services Council to bring EPA officials in as moderators, which enrolled them even further in the preparation and execution of the event. 

Overall, reverse industry days help to uncover hidden challenges in the contracting process and serve to deepen relationships between government agencies and the firms looking to do business with them.
