Virtual Government Expo Network

V*GEN is the name of a loose network of representatives from the government (federal, state, and local) and major prime contractors. It does not act as a direct, top-down information portal, but rather a collaborative model of sharing various content, typically pertaining to small business contractors.
It was established in response to the cancellation of major government conferences and events due to cuts in government spending that resulted from the 2012 Government Services Administration scandal. Currently, the network contains approximately 150 active "conduit" representatives, which spread to over 15,000 connections—which are also in conjunction with several thousand more subscribers of FedGov.News.
FedGov.News.
FedGov.News, a division of Every Good Turn Publishing, acts as the independent arbitrator of the V*GEN. It validates all content that goes through the portal.
