Essential Costpoint Sessions for Government Contractors
Three standout sessions deserve priority placement on your agenda, each addressing core operational challenges that government contractors face today.
- Creating Custom Costpoint Reports Using the MS Word Reporting Tool in Capture and Contracts unlocks powerful reporting capabilities that many organizations underutilize. This session demonstrates how to extract data directly from Costpoint’s modules into customizable Word documents, enabling you to create reports tailored to your firm’s specific requirements. For finance teams struggling with time-consuming manual reporting, this session offers immediate efficiency gains.
- Optimizing Revenue and Billing Setups: Best Practices & Set Up Options tackles one of the most critical aspects of contract management. When your firm wins a game-changing contract, proper setup is essential for accurate billing and revenue recognition. This session eliminates the guesswork around billing configurations, helping you understand the impact of different setup options on Costpoint outputs. The knowledge gained here directly translates to improved cash flow and reduced billing disputes.
- Business Intelligence Dashboard Fundamentals transforms raw data into actionable insights. Government contractors generate massive amounts of transactional data, but many struggle to convert this information into strategic intelligence. This session focuses on dashboard development fundamentals, teaching you to create digestible reports that support critical business decisions. For executives seeking real-time data visibility, this session provides the foundation for data-driven decision making.
Making the Most of Denver
Denver offers excellent opportunities to extend your professional development beyond the conference walls. The city’s proximity to natural attractions provides perfect venues for informal networking or personal rejuvenation between intensive sessions.
Start your Denver experience at the airport, where you’ll encounter Mustang—locally known as “Blucifer“—the iconic blue horse sculpture that welcomes visitors. This 32-foot fiberglass statue has become a beloved Denver landmark.
For early risers from the East Coast, Denver’s hiking trails offer peaceful settings to prepare for productive conference days. The Greenway Trail in Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge provides easy access to Colorado’s natural beauty, with free admission and sunrise-to-sunset access. Star K Ranch and Sand Creek Park offer additional options within a reasonable distance of conference venues.
Consider extending your stay to explore Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall or venture south to Colorado Springs for Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. These destinations provide excellent opportunities for team building or client entertainment if you are bringing colleagues or meeting with partners.
