Grow Your Business through Government Contracting

In FY2013, the U.S. government will spend $84 Billion in the state of Texas and with 23% of that allotted to small businesses; government contracting represents a significant growth opportunity.  With Texas consistently making the top 10 states for federal procurement, now is the time for small business owners to sell to the government.   

To help business owners get on the path to winning contracts, American Express OPEN is hosting a free event in Houston on Thursday, May 23rd. The Grow Your Business through Government Contracting event will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Houston Greenway Plaza Hotel from 8am to 5pm.

Attending business owners will have access to:

• VIP Contract Connections: one-on-one meeting with federal, state and local government buyers and large prime contractors – matches are based on small business’ capabilities and agencies/primes’ requirements
  • Interactive workshops to give business owners the tools they need to succeed in government contracting – including federal contracting do’s & don’ts; teaming best practices; learning how to team within the federal sector; best practices on teaming; how to work with prime contractors and much more
  • A day of insights from government officials, procurement officers and experienced small business contractors
  • Networking opportunities with other small business owners
  • Keynote speeches by government officials and experts
