ACG National Capital Leadership in Motion: Parsons Corp

ACG National Capital’s Leadership in Motion fireside with Parsons Corp runs Tuesday, October 7, 2026 from 7:30 to 9:30 AM ET at The Tower Club, 8000 Towers Crescent Drive in Vienna. Carey Smith, Parsons Chair, President, and CEO, is the featured voice. The morning stacks networking breakfast then a fireside conversation, which is the classic ACG Tysons deal-room format. Confirm member versus guest pricing and Tower Club dress or access notes on the ACG page before you assume a soft lobby walk-in. Towers Crescent morning traffic still needs a real buffer from DC, Arlington, or the Beltway. Two hours moves fast once the fireside starts.

The Association for Corporate Growth National Capital chapter is the DMV’s durable middle-market deal and leadership host. Parsons is a major federal and critical-infrastructure contractor, so the fireside sits on the Tysons government-services and corporate-growth map rather than a consumer-startup mixer. That named host plus named CEO is why the breakfast clears Circuit for readers who work PE, corporate development, and professional services around the Capital region. Bring one diligence or partnership question so hallway time after the fireside is usable. Cards that list firm and sector clearly help when breakfast tables turn over quickly.

This is right for ACG members, deal professionals, and operators who already sit in the National Capital middle-market graph. Skip it if you need a free Maryland small-business resource morning or a full-day federal career seminar. Tower Club access can be member-gated in practice; follow the host’s guest instructions precisely. Arrive for the 7:30 networking block if introductions matter more than the fireside alone.

If you are choosing between this Tysons breakfast and AAGEN × PPALM’s job transition seminar later that week, stay here for CEO leadership and deal-room density; use AAGEN for federal and AAPI career transition programming in Arlington. Register on acg.org, keep the confirmation for Tower Club check-in, and re-check timing closer to October 7.
