This is a great opportunity to bring together the Military and Government contracting and subcontracting ecosystem, to demonstrate the importance of sustaining and growing a diverse supply chain. We are all working together to help small businesses enter and re-enter the Defense and Government Industrial Base.

To highlight the important programs being offered in support of small business through the Department of Defense Office of Small Business Programs, we will have a panel discussion and training component built in. This event is open to all businesses interested in participating in the supply chain.
