They explore how technology, including AI and worktech solutions, can play a crucial role in helping the federal government optimize its assets and improve efficiency. The modernization of VA facilities must be a priority, so Jon emphasizes the need to configure real estate assets to meet the changing needs of veterans across the country. Engagement and collaboration between government officials, industry experts, and other stakeholders are essential for addressing these complex issues, so Mike and Jon offer the inspiration and encouragement you will need to be an Asset Champion in 2026!
