On March 15, several hundred small business representatives will gather at the Puyallup Fairgrounds for the Alliance Northwest Opportunities for Small Business Conference. This conference is designed for businesses to network and learn about procurement opportunities through agencies and prime contractors.
The keynote speaker for the event will be Andre J. Gudger, Office of Small Business Programs Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. Gudger serves as the principal advisor to the Secretary of Defense on small business matters. Kicking off the event will be Kate Oliver from GSA Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) who will present an overview of the consolidation of eight federal procurement systems/websites and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance into one new system — the System for Award Management (SAM) to be released in May.
This year’s agency partners include US Navy — Combined NSWC Port Hueneme Division & Corona Division; US General Services Administration; US Army Corps of Engineers; Department of Navy; Department of Army; US Air Force; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Small Business Administration; and others. Notable attendees include Boeing, Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition, Center for Advanced Manufacturing Puget Sound, Impact Washington, WSDOT, PCL Construction Leaders, Kiewit, URS, Advanced Technology Construction, Stantec, Lacy & Par and Manson Construction.
Last year, the conference included over 96 booths filled with local, state, and federal agencies as well as small businesses and fortune 500 corporations. The 2011 conference attracted over 750 attendees from over 400 businesses and the Alliance team anticipates a larger turn out this year.
Alliance NW Conference Opportunities for Small Business Conference & Trade Show is led by the Washington State Procurement Technical Assistance Center with the support of federal agencies and state offices. This is a partnership to provide businesses with a single day of networking and procurement training opportunities. More information is available at www.AllianceNWconference.org.
