Join us at our Vendor Procurement Event, presented by Bank of America. This event is a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs and suppliers to expand their horizons in the business world.

Winning corporate and government contracts can create significant opportunities for small businesses, but finding an opportunity is only one part of the process. Businesses also need to understand what buyers are looking for, how to position themselves competitively, and whether they have the capacity and systems to successfully deliver the work.

Throughout the day, participants can build their own learning experience by choosing from nine breakout sessions across three contracting tracks:
