SBSN Conference: Teaming and Positioning in the Marketplace

Topics for the Day

The government marketplace has changed. Small businesses are positioned to Prime more and more on federal contracts. Does your company target the right opportunities to pursue? Are you finding the right teaming partners? How does teaming affect your company's position strengths?

The focus for this conference is to discuss the importance of understanding the marketplace, identifying who is buying what you sell, partnering with the right companies that help present the strongest team, and positioning with the client.

We've assembled an experienced team of speakers from the government as well as big businesses to discuss many of the challenges small businesses face when they approach teaming.

You can learn more about our speaker's presentations and their area of expertise here.
