The American Council for Technology (ACT) - Industry Advisory Council (IAC) and the U.S. General Services Administration are jointly hosting Acquisition Excellence 2012 to provide a collaborative forum to discuss and develop actionable ideas on federal information technology (IT) acquisition, policy, and program management issues in this challenging budget environment. After GSA celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Interagency Resources Management Conference (IRMCO), it was decided to move to a one day, more focused format for the next generation of IRMCO.
