The worlds largest customer is still the most recession proof customer: The U S Federal Government
...and they are buying whatever it is you sell right now!
 
With a 2012 Federal Budget of $720 billion that is contractor addressable, those small businesses prepared to compete will have the edge.

There is no substitute for face to face networking:
20% of the small businesses get 80% of the business. Why? Because they have forged a personal business relationship with the agency. This includes knowing the key players by sight (even better if they know you by sight) as well as understanding the Agency's Mission and knowing how your goods and or services fit into their goals.

 Increase both your Federal IQ and Federal Presence.
If your company is a Small Business, (8(a), Small and Disadvantaged Business, Small and Woman Owned Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, Native American Owned Business, Veteran Owned Business, HUBZone, you MUST plan on attending this one day Seminar and MatchMaking Event!
