The Annual Small Business Government Procurement Conference Is Coming To D.C.

Washington /PRNewswire/ - The Federal Business Council is hosting the 24th Annual Government Procurement Conference at the Washington D.C. Convention Center on Wednesday, April 16, 2014 from 9:00am – 4:00 p.m. The Annual Government Procurement Conference is a national conference fostering business partnerships between the Federal Government, its prime contractors, and small, minority, service-disabled veteran-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, and women-owned businesses. This event attracts over 3,000 government and private sector attendees as well as hundreds of small business and government exhibitors.

All participants will have the opportunity to learn first-hand the direction in which the government procurement offices are heading by taking part in the day's sessions. Confirmed topics being covered throughout the day include: Federal Contracting 101, Opportunity for Woman-Owned Small Businesses, Subcontracting with Prime Contractors, Strategic Sourcing and Understanding RFPs. A portion of this event is dedicated to MatchMaking appointments which offer small businesses the chance to sit down one-on-one with federal, state and local small business advocates and prime contractors to discuss what their business can do to support each agency's goals.

The conference organizers have taken great strides to make it as convenient and worthwhile for all participants by offering zero-cost admittance to government exhibitors and attendees, making it Metro Accessible, providing more exhibit and MatchMaking spaces than ever before, promoting "Green" initiatives, and of course, bringing together some of the most highly influential government procurement resources.
