The El Paso Community College’s Contract Opportunities Center and the El Paso Small Business Consortium are proud to announce the 7th Annual Procurement and Contracting Symposium to be held on April 27, 2010 at the El Paso Community College’s Administrative Services Center, 9050 Viscount, El Paso, Texas. This event has historically been supported by agencies of federal, state and local governments and their Prime Contractors, making this Symposium a premier event in the West Texas and Southern New Mexico region.
Suppliers of goods and services are ready to stand up with agencies of federal, state and local governments as they strive to meet the challenges of supporting the war fighter. Our goal is very simple- to provide a venue and an opportunity for purchasers, contractors and suppliers to come together and “Reach out” to one another.
In planning this event the objectives are:
- To provide a venue where federal, state and local governmental agencies and their Prime Contractors have the opportunity to extend their outreach into a region rich with qualified vendors willing to help them meet their acquisition goals;
- To provide an opportunity for regional suppliers and service providers to begin developing relationships with Installation and agency contracting representatives;
- To provide training opportunities for vendors currently engaged in government contracting and to provide information to potential contractors and the local business community.
There are several ways that you can participate. Be a Sponsor, be a presenter, a member of a panel, participate in one-on-one sessions with interested vendors (Government agencies and Prime Contractors only), have a booth in the exhibit area, network or conduct a workshop.
