What People Are Saying

The lunch was very nice. My boss and I were both impressed with the service and the great food "well done" A little touch of class. We didn't really get a lot of activity booth wise, but Chris ( my boss) made two good contacts from the match making meetings. For myself I did seminars all day and they were great. You had alot of really good speakers. I left with a lot of great information to work with for future. I went to 4 of them all together and two of them were terrific. Dept Homeland Security and I got a GSA # now what. Very good.... Hope to see you in the future you did a great job on coordinating the show.

Why is this event so important to your business?

A primary challenge for business is to be aware of current regulations and guidelines. This conference provides opportunities to meet buyers and contracting officers from major military bases, the surrounding states and large companies to discuss business opportunities. Educational sessions will provide current information on emerging new standards and provide you with the tools to bid and contract successfully, gain valuable information and share success stories. This is your opportunity as a supplier to identify potential new contracting sources and network with buyers and other attendees.

Make hundreds of face-to-face contacts in one day
Receive contact information for buyers and contracting officers
Meet companies that could potentially become "partners" in preparing proposals and contracts

UNBELIEVABLE VALUE FOR YOUR TIME. CAN YOU ACCOMPLISH THE SAME SITTING AT YOUR DESK FOR 8 HOURS ???!!!

What is the format for the day?

Keep in mind -- THIS IS A TOOL IN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS. DO NOT EXPECT TO WIN A CONTRACT ON-SITE. Ask pertinent questions and find out what that agency or contractor is looking for and what you need to do to qualify.

The MatchMaking area will be located in the center of the Exhibit Hall with exhibits around the perimeter.

MATCHMAKING MEETINGS: Pre-Registered Attendees and Small Business exhibitors will be able to schedule their own meetings with prime contractors and government agencies shortly after registering. Additional meetings can be done approximately two weeks before the event.
TRADE SHOW: Because of space restrictions, a limited number of booth spaces are available for this event.
WORKSHOPS: A series of workshops will be on-going throughout the day detailing success strategies for doing business with the government.
