2010 Government Procurement Conference August 11 at the Arlington Convention Center

Businesses wanting to compete for government contracts learn how to find opportunities and structure winning bids. Many government agencies are required to set aside a percentage of their procurements for small businesses.

 

The focus of the Conference is to disseminate useful procurement information about federal, state and local government agencies as well as their prime contractors and subcontractors. More than 1,000 people attended last year's conference.
