SUMMARY:NVIDIA x Red Hat Small Models Hack (Raleigh\, NC)
DESCRIPTION:About Event \n\n\n\n​Small. Sharp. Specialized. \n​Build AI that punches above its weight—specialized small models\, multi-agent systems\, and reliable tool-calling—all running on NVIDIA Brev or locally. \n​Join NVIDIA and Red Hat in Raleigh for the Small Models Hack. \n​This event brings together frontier builders\, applied ML engineers\, and systems thinkers to explore what’s possible when small\, open models (total parameters must be ≤ 33 billion) take center stage. \n​Every team will get NVIDIA Brev credits to spin up GPU environments throughout the weekend. \n\n✏️ How to Participate \n​This hackathon is limited to a maximum of 100 participants. Once we reach capacity\, additional applicants will be placed on a waitlist and notified if a spot becomes available. \n​Application Guidelines: \n\n​You must be able to attend the event in person.\nApply as a team or an individual: Both are welcome. Teams should be a maximum of 3 members.\n​Individuals: You’re welcome to hack solo\, or team up with others ahead of time in our Discord channel #small-models-hack-raleigh to find teammates before the event.\n\n\n​​🔥 Challenge Tracks \n​Teams can tackle any real-world problem they care about. Each track defines how your AI works\, not what problem it solves. \n​🎯 1. Fine-Tuned & Specialized \n​Focus: A small model that’s excellent at one real thing. \n​The Goal: Adapt or fine-tune a small model for a specific job—then publish it openly so others can reuse it. Depth over breadth\, and evidence that specialization beats general-purpose for your chosen task. \n​🕸️ 2. Multi-Agent Systems \n​Focus: Many small models beating one big one. \n​The Goal: Wire several small models together so they coordinate—dividing up work\, passing context back and forth\, building on each other’s output—to accomplish something no single model could alone. \n​🛠️ 3. Tool-Calling \n​Focus: A single model that uses real tools reliably. \n​The Goal: Deciding when to call\, picking the right tool\, formatting valid arguments\, handling what comes back\, recovering from failed or malformed calls\, verifying its own work\, and falling back gracefully when something breaks. \n💸 Additional Bounty Tracks \n\nBest Use of NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning\nBest Use of Red Hat vLLM\n\n​​💰 What You Can Win \n​Qualifying submissions\, depending on the unique track requirements\, are eligible to win the following and more: \n\n​NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090\n​NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit\nNVIDIA Brev credits\n​NVIDIA and Red Hat swag\n​NVIDIA Developer Livestream feature\n​Red Hat vLLM Office Hours feature\n​Social media amplification\n\nFor the most recent updates and to register for the event\, please visit: The Luma Page for NVIDIA x Red Hat Small Models Hack

SUMMARY:GovCon Training Series: How Primes Choose Small Businesses (Tysons Corner\, VA)
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nJoin our FREE lunch & GovCon training event hosted by the NoVA Small Business Resource Center—supporting entrepreneurs in the DMV community. \n\n\n\n⭐ The NOVA Small Business Resource Center\nJoin our Small Business GovCon Training Series: How Primes Choose Small Businesses: Lunch with Diane Dempsey – retired Small Business Program Director at BAE Systems. \nAbout this event \nIf you sell to the government\, the hard part is rarely SAM.gov. It is getting a prime to trust you with a piece of the work. \nThe NoVA Small Business Resource Center invites government contractors to a working lunch with Diane Dempsey\, retired Director of Small Business Programs at BAE Systems Intelligence & Security. \nDiane spent her career in procurement\, subcontracts\, and supplier diversity for prime contractors in the Washington region. She led BAE Systems’ small-business program in the Intelligence & Security sector\, chaired the Capital Region Minority Supplier Development Council\, and co-chaired the TRIAD Industry Group. Under the program she led\, BAE Systems received the SBA Dwight D. Eisenhower Award and the Capital Region MSDC Corporation of the Year. She was named the National Veterans Small Business Coalition 2021 Prime Contractor Advocate of the Year. \nThis is not a SAM registration class. It is the view from the other side of the table: how a prime builds a supplier pipeline\, what gets a capability statement read\, what gets it ignored\, and what “ready” looks like before a program manager will put a small business on a team. \nWho should attend\nOwners\, capture leads\, and business-development staff at small and mid-size government contractors who want subcontract work with large primes. Especially useful for firms pursuing defense\, intelligence\, and federal civilian work in the DMV\, including 8(a)\, SDVOSB\, WOSB\, HUBZone\, DBE\, and SWaM-certified businesses. \n⭐ Event Details\nDate: Wednesday\, October 21st \nTime: 12:00 – 1:30 pm \nLocation: Tysons Corner\, VA \n⭐ Why Attend\n\nTo obtain a clearer picture of how Primes select and use small businesses\nHow to build a Capability Statement that gets noticed\nLearn strategies you can apply right away\nExpand your network and connect with strategic partners\nOne practical next step for engaging large organizations\n\nThis session does not include individualized proposal review\, and attendance is not a path to a subcontract. \n⭐ Join Us\nJoin the NoVA SBRC for an empowering lunchtime conversation focused on how to scale\, grow and succeed within the federal government. \nReserve your spot today and be part of our community event—where small business support\, collaboration\, and opportunity begin. \nRegister For The Event Here
