This annual gathering serves as a platform for networking, learning, and fostering collaboration among business owners, government entities, and private sector representatives.
Led by director Renee Watson, SBED is an action-oriented team dedicated to connecting small, minority, women-owned, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses to opportunities that promote success in both the public and private sectors. The department recognizes these businesses as vital to the economy, often referred to as the backbone of the free enterprise system.
Watson says there were trillions of dollars in procurement opportunities at the business conference with over 160 exhibitors and 30 workshops that provided important information about how to start or grow a business.
