The Del Mar College Procurement Technical Assistance Center will hold our 15th Annual Government and Business Opportunities Conference on March 12, 2008 at the Solomon P. Ortiz Conference Center in Corpus Christi. This event is the highlight of PTAC’s efforts to connect the small businesses of the coastal bend with government buying activities. Registration is $35.00 and includes lunch. Set the entire day aside!

The conference will provide three great ways to gather valuable contracting information for your business. First, come and meet contracting and purchasing professionals from Federal, State and Local government buying offices. Second, attend one of the breakout sessions and learn how to sell to the government. And finally, visit the exhibit area and collect information about selling to local offices of government agencies.

If you are a rookie or a seasoned veteran at events like this, there are some specific things you can do to make the very best of your attendance at the procurement conference. Do you have your elevator speech ready? How will you reach your goals for the conference? How do you set goals for the conference? Are you ready? We can help you!
