SUMMARY:The KO Factor: Why First Impressions Make or Break Disruptive Defen
 se Technologies  — Fed Supernova 2026
DESCRIPTION:First impressions matter—especially when failure means your g
 ame-changing tech joins the graveyard of "promising" capabilities that nev
 er transitioned. This panel dissects what separates successes from spectac
 ular flameouts in defense innovation.\nHere’s the twist: that first impr
 ession usually happens months before your demo—in a contracting officer
 ’s office. The right KO can guide you through procurement minefields. Th
 e wrong one can shut you down before anyone sees your tech.\nGreat ideas o
 ften fail not on merit\, but on avoidable contracting missteps—like choo
 sing the wrong acquisition path or missing compliance details.\nJoin us to
  learn what really makes or breaks your shot at transforming military oper
 ations.\nPlease note: Adding this session to your agenda does not guarante
 e admission. Admission will be granted on a first-come\, first serve basis
  until room capacity is reached.
