Why Join the Potomac Officers Club?

In the government contracting world, there are plenty of membership organizations, events and networking opportunities. But no organization matches the excellence, professionalism, and unparalleled opportunities the Potomac Officers Club has to offer. 

For more than two decades, the Potomac Officers Club has been the leader in promoting and branding the executives of consequence in the GovCon market. But don’t just take our word for it. Read what our members have to say about Potomac Officers Club membership:

Harness Exceptional Networking Opportunities

At the Potomac Officers Club, influential C-suite executives, government officials and industry experts alike come together to exchange ideas, collaborate and advance critical government missions. 

“The events are always really high-end, and it’s always the most senior leaders in industry, and I think it’s also the most senior customers,” said Ultra Intelligence & Communications CEO Jon Rucker, a 2024 Wash100 Award winner. “The topics tend to be right on point, and you get the right folks in for the conversation. You can go to a lot of events, and the topics are interesting but it’s not the right folks. POC always has the right folks.”

Only executives who are director-level or higher within their organizations are permitted to attend Potomac Officers Club events, so you’re guaranteed to enjoy the most elite networking opportunities the GovCon market has to offer. 

“I love Potomac Officers Club events,” said Tom McCabe, COO and general counsel at Istari Digital. “I get to meet all the players in our industry, and Jim Garrettson does a great job of pulling these together. I always hear the latest content and the latest trends and meet the significant players.”

Potomac Officers Club summits offer multiple opportunities throughout the program to network with fellow attendees. At your next Potomac Officers Club summit, grab a coffee and check out our morning networking reception to meet the leaders of GovCon and expand your network with impactful executives. 

Hear Directly from Government Decision Makers

“Really from the get-go, I knew this was a venue that would deliver really great messaging and great leadership,” said Indira Rice Donegan, chief technology evangelist at Red River. “They’re able to bring out a lot of commentary that I don’t see in other venues — it’s at a higher level with an executive focus, and they do a great job of bringing those folks together time after time. They don’t disappoint!”

Gen. (retired) Cedric George, senior director of strategy and growth at MetroStar. 

Business deals, new partnerships and collaborative efforts are forged in the halls of Potomac Officers Club events.

“What I’ve been really impressed with is the interaction between government and industry on the panels,” said Michael Gulli, client principal at Galorath Federal. “I like the open interaction and the sharing of different concepts and thoughts about how to improve the dialogue, how to improve RFPs, RFI responses. I’ve been very impressed and was really happy to attend.”
