99 -- National Federal Procurement Event That You Cannot Afford to Miss

The National Federal Procurement Event scheduled for December 6-8, 2004, is a crucial opportunity for service-disabled veterans, veterans, and small business owners to connect with federal procurement opportunities. Sponsored by several key federal agencies including the General Services Administration, Small Business Administration, Minority Business Development Agency, Department of Defense, and Department of Veterans Affairs, this three-day event focuses on assisting businesses in navigating government contracting processes. Attendees can participate in educational workshops covering finance, security clearances, subcontracting, certifications, and how to become a GSA Federal Supply Schedule holder. The event also features success stories from service-disabled veteran owned businesses and offers one-on-one matchmaking sessions with government agencies and prime contractors. Hosted at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Conference Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, the conference begins with registration, matchmaking, and a welcome reception on December 6, followed by a trade fair, workshops, and networking sessions on December 7 and 8. The $95 registration fee includes access to all events, two luncheons, a networking luau, and the opening reception. This event, coordinated by a team including Business Specialist Intern Jessica I Monge, provides a valuable platform for attendees to secure federal contracts and build professional relationships within the government procurement community. More information and online registration are available via the event’s designated website.
