2009 Opening Doors for Small Business Conference
Sponsored by GSA Office of Small Business Utilization
Providing opportunities in a challenging economy.
Through networking and matchmaking, workshops and exhibits, attendees of this fifth annual conference will make lasting connections leading to business development and strategic partnerships in the pursuit of the billions of dollars in federal government contracts awarded to small businesses.
The proposed 2009 agenda will feature workshops specifically designed to help small businesses find new government marketplace opportunities in challenging economic times, as well as an enhanced, expanded matchmaking program that promises more productive appointments with federal and state agencies and prime contractors that are specifically "looking for" your product or service offering.
New additions to the format include a provocative Small Business Town Hall and plenary Large Business Summit.
