One Day. One System. Game Over for Your Competition. It's Time to Level the Playing Field with AI Listen. Are you tired of losing contracts to bigger competitors? Spending weeks on proposals that don't win? Feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of government contracting? That’s about to change. On July 26th, we’ll show you exactly how to transform your GovCon business with AI. HERE'S THE TRUTH NOBODY WANTS YOU TO KNOW: Big contractors have 50-person proposal teams. You have 2. They spend $100K on market research. You have Google. They wine and dine contracting officers. You're lucky to get an email response. But here's what they DON'T have: The ability to move fast. The hunger to innovate. And after July 26th... the AI playbook that levels the field. THE PROBLEM: You're working 80-hour weeks writing proposals that lose to companies 100x your size. You're chasing opportunities that were wired for someone else 6 months ago. You're competing on price because you don't know how to compete on value. And you're doing it all manually like it's 1995. THE SOLUTION: One day with Desmond Brown (Retired VA Executive Director OSDBU who built MULTI-MILLION dollar programs) and Alicia Lyttle (The woman teaching Fortune 500s how to use AI). Desmond A. Brown Desmond A. Brown is one of the nation’s most credentialed authorities in government contracting, holding the highest levels of certification in federal procurement and acquisition strategy .

He served at the highest levels of government, including as Executive Director of the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs , where he oversaw billions of dollars in procurement opportunities for small, minority-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. His federal leadership journey includes a key role at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management , and in the private sector, Desmond held leadership roles at Lockheed Martin , where he contributed to mission-critical defense and technology initiatives. Desmond is widely respected for his ability to bridge complex government systems with real-world small business outcomes . His work has empowered thousands of business owners to win federal contracts, scale strategically, and navigate the compliance landscape with confidence. Now retired from federal service, Desmond is a sought-after speaker, AI strategist, and branding advisor. He trains government contractors and entrepreneurs around the globe. Known for his powerful blend of procurement expertise and forward-thinking innovation, Desmond helps others thrive at the intersection of technology, storytelling, and federal opportunity . His mission? To equip underserved founders and fast-moving entrepreneurs to win at warp speed in the age of AI. Alicia Lyttle Alicia Lyttle is internationally recognized as “The Queen of AI” for her knack at turning cutting-edge artificial-intelligence tools into real-world wins for entrepreneurs and government teams alike. As CEO of AI InnoVision. Alicia has spent over a decade helping small businesses fast-track growth by automating everything from proposal writing to market research. A sought-after speaker on the federal stage, Alicia has delivered keynote sessions and hands-on labs for the National Contract Management Association (NCMA), multiple federal and state events and agency innovation days. Her workshops consistently earn reviews for turning “tech overwhelm” into doable, step-by-step systems that boost win rates and slash admin time. Whether she’s guiding 8(a) startups to their first prime award or training contracting officers on generative-AI best practices, Alicia’s mission is the same: demystify AI and make it the great equalizer for anyone ready to compete at warp speed. Expect energy, clarity, and a library of prompt hacks you can apply before you leave the event! Together, they've cracked the code on using AI to win government contracts.
