Guidelines about which companies should have Exhibit Tables:

In general, most of the tables will be assigned to the purchasing departments and small business liaison officers of large prime contractor corporations and government agencies.

Small Businesses are encouraged to bring their business cards and brochures and walk through the booths talking to the buyers from the large corporations and government. If you are a small business owner and you can adequately explain your service or product using your brochure, then we encourage you to walk the expo rather than exhibit. This expo is all about networking with the aim of potentially obtaining large contracts.

There will be a limited number of exhibit tables set aside for Small Businesses and they will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. We prefer to restrict the small business exhibit tables to those companies that have a service or product they want to sell to the government or large corporations, rather than companies that market to other small businesses.
