Why Exhibit?
Are you, as a business owner in today’s recovering economy, looking to strengthen and grow your business operations within the Department of Defense, with small, medium, and large companies? The answer in the current rebuilding economy is a resounding yes. And at the NDIA Small Business Conference in Huntsville, Alabama, on Tuesday, May 25 - Wednesday May 26, you can do just that.
The theme of the 2010 conference is “Small Business in Economic Recovery”. Although this is a small business conference focused primarily on work with the Department of Defense, attendees and exhibitors from all types and sizes of business will be present in order to maximize the chance to identify potential teaming partners, discover niche technologies, and meet small business contracting requirements.
Speakers throughout the event will provide information on the outlooks for the future of small business as a whole, identify small business opportunities, and discuss branding and strategic communications. Potential speakers include representatives from NASA, Congress, Navy, Army, Air Force, and the DHS. One-on-one matchmaking meetings and networking opportunities such as exhibit hall breaks, an evening reception, and a golf tournament provide additional opportunities to interact with other attendees. In today’s recovering economy, working with small businesses will be a crucial part of rebuilding successful relationships and growing business. Join us in Huntsville for the NDIA Small Business Conference!
