The summit will focus on five core issues that are important to the small business community: Technology & Telecommunications, Transportation, Energy, Contracting & Regulatory Challenges; and Workforce Preparedness. These are working sessions, so participants can expect to roll up their sleeves and become actively involved in the discussion and final policies we will then submit to the Virginia Governor and General Assembly.

MAHCC Greater Washington Procurement Conference
GREATER WASHINGTON PROCUREMENT CONFERENCE is co-sponsored by the the Mid-Atlantic Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and ShoWorks Inc. The goal for this event is to connect small businesses to buyers from federal, state and local government agencies and large government prime contractors. Learn how they do business, who they are looking for, meet them and then FOLLOW-UP! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES! Why is this event so important to your business? Keep in mind -- THIS IS A TOOL IN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS. DO NOT EXPECT TO WIN A CONTRACT ON-SITE. Ask pertinent questions and find out what that agency or contractor is looking for and what you need to do to qualify. A primary challenge for business is to be aware of current regulations and guidelines. This conference 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. Does this type of event really work? Actually, that is up to you! Did you use the time efficiently? Did you do your research before you arrived at the event? Do YOU follow up? This is your opportunity as a supplier to identify potential new contracting sources and network with buyers and other attendees. Make hundreds of face-to-face contacts in one day Receive contact information for buyers and contracting officers Meet companies that could potentially become "partners" in preparing proposals and contracts UNBELIEVABLE VALUE FOR YOUR TIME.
