Department of Commerce Vendor Expo

Do not miss this opportunity to exhibit at the U.S. Department of Commerce HQ (DoC); this is the first onsite expo in over two years. In addition, the DoC Office of the Chief Information Officer will be the lead sponsor for this year. This is a great event that historically has drawn more than 300 attendees! 

About the Office of the CIO: The Office oversees the expenditure of approximately $1.5 billion each year for computer hardware, software, and services, and for networking and telecommunications and other information technology (IT). This is accomplished by the development of policies and other guidance for Department-wide planning and use of IT, and through a capital asset management process centered around a Commerce IT Review Board. This process reviews and evaluates proposed IT initiatives and requests for acquisitions, and also reviews and evaluates ongoing IT projects.

About DoC: The historic mission of the Department is “to foster, promote, and develop the foreign and domestic commerce” of the United States.
