The Calendar

The full year, curated weekly from every vendor, media, and association source in the federal ecosystem. A gold dot marks a curated event with a confirmed date — tap it. Tentpoles still firming their dates sit just below the grid until they lock, then land on their square.

The GovGuild Brief

We read every listing in the ecosystem so you don't have to. The six worth your time, one crowned, everything labeled straight.

Issue Nº 001
Week of August 10, 2026

⭐ If you attend one thing

Federal AI Forum (Thu 8/13, Reston, in-person) — the only room in the DC metro this week where gov, academia, and industry sit down together on agentic AI. If you can leave the building, make it this.

This week

AI Forward: Pilots to Operations (Wed 8/12, virtual, CPE) · AI-Powered Threats & EDR (Thu 8/13, virtual, CPE — vendor-leaning, labeled) · AI & Cyber: Double-Edged Sword (Wed 8/19, virtual, CPE)

Frontier watch

The White House convened OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and NVIDIA on the frontier-model evaluation framework — pre-release government access to advanced models. The labs and the government are now in continuous, structural conversation. Understanding these companies is no longer optional context for federal work. It's the job.

The full brief lands by email every Tuesday. Join free — founding member status while the first 500 lasts.

Where the makers teach

The Halls

Each hall bears its holder's name — a vendor's own education wing inside the guild: gov-only webinars, federal news, compliance status, events on the guild calendar, and the door to their federal team. Every hall stands equal. Feds walk in when they choose.

For vendors & integrators: a hall bears your name and stands equal beside every other — your federal education wing and demand channel inside the guild: host gov-only webinars, publish federal news and compliance status, list events into the guild calendar, receive fed-initiated connection requests routed to your team. Charters are capped per wing to keep the guild education-dense; founding rates are grandfathered as the guild grows. halls@govguild.com
