GovConnect 2025, a premier event designed to foster connections between talent, federal employers, and key regional resources, is set to take place at The Depot in Leesburg, Virginia. The event is hosted through a collaborative partnership between The Building People, Loudoun Economic Development, Town of Leesburg Economic Development, and The Depot.
With approximately 18,000 Loudoun County residents employed by federal agencies or government contractors, the community faces growing uncertainty as government downsizing continues to affect the region, GovConnect 2025 serves as a timely initiative focused on supporting displaced federal employees and fostering economic resilience. The event aims to bridge employment gaps by directly connecting professionals affected by workforce reductions with potential employers, providing opportunities for networking, professional development, and job matching.
Lawrence Melton, CEO of The Building People, highlighted the urgency and purpose behind GovConnect 2025, stating, “We founded The Building People here in Virginia with big ideas, a small team, and a belief in innovation and service. Our growth has provided us with perspective and purpose—driving us to give back by creating a collaborative space for businesses and professionals navigating the evolving federal contracting landscape. GovConnect 2025 is about turning disruption into direction, providing practical solutions, and fostering a unified community response to economic challenges.”
“GovConnect 2025 is about more than job matching – it’s about supporting our federal workforce, strengthening our regional economy, and creating real pathways for people to thrive,” said Buddy Rizer, Executive Director of Loudoun Economic Development. “Loudoun County is proud to host this important event along with Leesburg Economic Development and The Building People to connect talent, opportunity, and resources in one place to empower both workers and employers.”
“Creating opportunities for both public and private sectors to work together to address common concerns is essential to maintaining a strong local economy, particularly in uncertain times”, said Russell Seymour, Director of Leesburg Economic Development. “The Town of Leesburg is pleased to work with both Loudoun County and The Building People on this important initiative in support of our local workforce and business community.”
The Depot, strategically located in Leesburg, will host GovConnect 2025, offering a vibrant atmosphere that facilitates meaningful interactions and collaboration among job seekers, businesses, and community stakeholders.
