What Is Speed Connect?

Join us on Tuesday, May 21st for Speed Connect!

Speed Connect is a two-hour session, consisting of 8 ten-minute meetings in which Small Businesses and Prime Contractors can meet one-on-one to discuss potentially working together on future projects.

During these sessions, the meetings are brief, so we can give as many Symposium participants the chance to meet with as many Prime Contractors as possible. Please come prepared to share your company’s area of expertise within this ten-minute time frame.

This is a vital opportunity to network with contractors and certified small businesses one-on-one. When you register, there will be an area to let us know if you're interested in participating in this part of the Symposium. The sooner you register, the more opportunities you'll find. So, if you haven't registered, please take a moment to do so now.
