Department of State Virtual IT Vendor Day

This virtual event is a one-day exposition with vendor speaking sessions being held virtually. Attendees will consist of Department of State (DOS) employees, including Bureau of Information Resource Management (IRM) personnel along with other departments from across the DOS enterprise.

Why You Should Participate:

This audience is difficult to reach and the concept is to provide an online forum where State Department personnel can evaluate new technologies, as well as company capabilities within an organized exposition. Employees will be encouraged to meet with industry exhibitors throughout the day to learn about their products and services and to exchange ideas. 

The vendor participation is limited to 24 virtual booths, which each include a half-hour vendor session. This event normally fills up quickly, so contact your FBC representative as soon as possible to secure your participation.
