Society of American Military Engineers (SAME)

The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) is a national professional society (founded 1920) that organizes multiple national conferences and workshops directly relevant to government procurement and acquisition, including the Federal Small Business Conference (SBC), Capital Week (agency program briefings and acquisition strategy), and the Joint Engineer Training Conference & Expo (JETC). SAME events explicitly target government-industry engagement, contracting and acquisition forecasts, federal program briefings, market research, and networking with contracting officers and federal procurement representatives—matching the user intent for organizers of government procurement, contracting, acquisition, and sourcing-focused conferences.
