The Veterans In Business Conference
The Veterans In Business Conference provides education, networking and business opportunities for Veteran and Service Disabled Veteran Small Business Owners. The conference was created by civic and business leaders in Northern Virginia to provide training and exposure to veterans who wish to grow their businesses through contracting and subcontracting opportunities with the Federal Government. Due to our close proximity to Washington D.C. and the long list of prime contractors who call Fairfax County home, the conference can provide attendees with a unique exposure to many of the small business offices from the Federal Government and the corporations that often need VOSBs and SDVOSBs to join their teams.
The Veterans In Business Conference is unique:
- The greater Washington area is home to the majority of federal agencies and prime contractors that work with them. In addition the metro area is home to a large number of veteran owned businesses. The Veterans In Business Conference brings these groups together like no other conference.
- We limit the size of the conference intentionally. There are much larger veterans business conferences around the country. The Veterans In Business Conference is designed to allow maximum exposure between small business offices, federal contractors, and veteran business owners. We provide time in the day for individuals to connect and talk business. Deals get done every year at the conference and through relationships that are developed here.
- We can provide follow-up assistance and counseling for attendees at no additional cost. As a service partner of the United States Small Business Administration, the Small Business Development Center at The Community Business Partnership provides counseling and technical assistance for small business owners at no charge. Our office has a special focus on veteran-owned businesses, and as part of George Mason University's Mason Enterprise Center and the Virginia Small Business Development Center Network we are uniquely positioned to help veteran businesses expand and succeed.
