99--SMALL BUSINESS EVENT - JPL HIGH-TECH CONFERENCE FOR SMALL BUSINESS IN LOSANGELES

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, is hosting its 25th annual High-Tech Conference for Small Business on March 5 and 6 at the Westin Los Angeles Airport Hotel. This long-standing event serves as a key platform for small businesses to explore contracting and subcontracting opportunities with major corporations, federal agencies, local governments, and JPL’s own purchasing and technical teams. The conference includes a marketplace where prime contractors and government agencies—limited to exhibiting due to space constraints—can engage directly with attendees through workshops and informational sessions focused on issues pertinent to small businesses. The event is anticipated to attract over 900 participants, including nearly 100 prime contractors, various JPL subcontractors, and government representatives. Exhibiting is free of charge and limited to qualified prime contractors and government agencies, with those interested encouraged to reach out to the designated JPL contact. Attendee registration is $150 per person and can be completed online, with early registration recommended. Additional inquiries can be directed to JPL via the provided phone numbers. This conference offers valuable networking and business development opportunities for small businesses aiming to connect with influential entities in the aerospace and government contracting sectors.
