Greater Washington Procurement Conference

ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE THROUGH GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT!

This is the theme and focus of the GREATER WASHINGTON PROCUREMENT CONFERENCE sponsored by the the Mid-Atlantic Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. ShoWorks Inc. is the event management company for the event.

The 6th Annual Alliance Baltimore Small Business Procurement Fair

The 6th Annual Alliance Baltimore Small Business Procurement Fair 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.http://www.events4gov.com/event/687

12/5 - 12/6
Alliance -Spotlight on Construction

This is a specialized meeting and networking format designed for the more experienced small business to interact more technically with agencies and prime contractors in the federal construction arena.

We have found that many companies have great past performance, excellent bonding capability and need more than the quick meetings. We have also found that government agencies and prime contractors would like better meetings with more experienced businesses. That is the rationale behind the Alliance Spotlight 2 day events. Attendance will be limited to 50 small businesses (with a maximum of 2 people from each of the 50 companies).

Construction industry companies will apply, and not all will be accepted. Pre-qualified and READY companies will be accepted and scheduled for the meetings.

Emphasis will be on networking, forming and solidifying teaming relationships.http://www.events4gov.com/event/1007
