Additionally, the MPTW will provide informative training opportunities intended to stimulate improvement and prepare the audience for working within the evolving acquisition environment. The event will also provide attendees with access to representatives of the RIF, who will be on hand to discuss the latest in innovative technologies that can be assimilated into acquisition programs that meet specific defense needs, thereby making them eligible for sole source funding.
