The government buys everything. From paperclips to tanks, 5% of those purchases must be awarded to "small disadvantaged businesses" which includes AAPI & Latino-owned small businesses.
This FREE event for local small businesses will include a presentation to learn how to secure a contract to sell services or products with the federal government, panel discussion with various federal representatives, application training, and Q&A.
The forum is a hybrid event that will be held in-person at the Isaac Newton Senter Auditorium on the first floor of the County of Santa Clara Government Center, 70 W. Hedding Street, San Jose, CA 95110. While in-person attendance is strongly encouraged, the event will be live-streamed online as a webinar through a Zoom Link.
