Join our annual collaborative one-day event that brings together partners in industry and government to explore the future of manufacturing. This event is designed for professionals who want to explore government contracting opportunities (both direct and indirect) and identifying opportunities for collaboration and partnership.
This event requires your engaged participation! It will include meaningful discussions and networking; but don’t worry, this isn’t your typical networking event… we will be facilitating those interactions and making them more organic (and less awkward!)
We will hear from subject matter experts on the following topics, while also exploring valuable resources for our manufacturing community.
Topics covered:
Doing Business with Government Agencies and Large Federal Primes: Gain insights into government & subcontracting opportunities.
Success Story Panel: Tales from the trenches. Learn from your peers.
Matchmaking with Manufacturers: Competimates in motion! Discover potential partners who align with your business goals and explore opportunities for collaboration and growth.
?And more!!
This is not just any event… our goal here is to create opportunities for you to learn, grow, engage with your peers and build your networks… all we need from you is to show up and participate!
REGISTRATION CLOSES ON SEPTEMBER 5.
