Often times I speak to so many who attend government sponsored vendor conferences, small business conferences, outreach events etc. I get several different responses from attendees due to expectations established by them as they attend these conferences. Please allow me to share with you information needed to ensure conference attendance is of value to your business.



Market Strategy

* Who buys what you sell

* What they buy

* When do they buy it

* How they buy it

* In what quantity

* How do I contact them

* Learn what they do

Why Should I attend Government Sponsored Events?

* Understand how Agencies do business, learn their process methodology to acquire products and services

* Retrieve contact information from government representatives

* Develop a strategy to work with specific agencies

* Develop possible teaming partnering relationship

* Create Government and Prime Contracting Relationships
