Growing Veteran Small Business in the Federal Marketplace

Washington, DC. The Veteran Entrepreneur Training Symposium (VETS) is returning to the Silver Legacy Resort Casino in Reno, Nevada, June 10-13, 2013, for a third time.

Bringing together Federal agencies, prime contractors, and Veteran business owners, VETS helps companies understand and utilize Veteran-owned small business contracting opportunities provided by the Federal government. "VETS is crafted by Veterans already doing business with the Federal government--Veteran Entrepreneurs who have walked in your shoes", says Scott Denniston, Executive Director of the National Veteran Small Business Coalition (NVSBC), the host organization for VETS.

At VETS2013, attendees will gain the knowledge and relationships necessary to take advantage of the Federally mandated contract opportunities set aside specifically for Veteran-owned small businesses. The event will assemble over 500 attendees in classroom discussions, a lively exhibit hall, networking events, and one-on-one business development sessions.

"This is the first conference I've supported where the core objective is to educate and train entrepreneurs and small business owners...The most effective and advantageous Veteran's event I've been privileged to support", emphasizes two-time VETS speaker Joshua Frank, Principal of RSM Federal.
