JPL celebrates its 13th Anniversary High-Tech Small Business Conference for small, minority, and women-owned businesses!
Attendees can expect to: (1) interface with approximately 250 corporate, federal, state, and city government representatives to discuss potential contracting and subcontracting opportunities; (2) improve knowledge and skills in competing in the federal government and prime contractor sector; and (3) attend workshops on current trends and issues. A subsequent discussion period will follow each workshop session to allow for a greater exchange of ideas and concepts. With emphasis placed on expanding R&D opportunities for small, minority, and women-owned entrepreneurs, the conference is especially timely.
In addition to meeting large organizations during the two-day Marketplace, you will have an added opportunity to further market your company at the Mixer/Networking Reception(s).
The conference theme continues to be "Matching small businesses (including small disadvantaged businesses and women-owned businesses) with large businesses (federal government and prime contractors) at a minimum cost to each, for the purpose of discussing purchasing/procurement opportunities."
Enclosed you will find a Tentative Agenda, Tentative Workshop Topics, and a partial list of government agencies, prime contractors, and other large procuring organizations who attended in March 2001.
In response to your request for registration information, please return the enclosed Registration Form with a check or money order for $100 per attendee payable to "Caltech/JPL" no later than February 14, 2001. For tracking purposes, please make a notation on your check or money order’s comment section referencing payment is for "High-Tech 2001."
