The Following One - Minute Video Offers an Attendee's Perspective on the
Value of Attending this SBIR National.
The Agenda is Getting Full! | ||
New for this year is a social networking website. Since there is so much value in networking, we thought that we would provide a way for companies to meet and interact PRIOR to the conference. As you register, you will be prompted to join our interactive website. In a "Facebook" like system, you will be able to contact other companies you may have interest engaging. Set up appointments if you like. Plan to meet. Do business now with companies you would not ordinarily have an occasion to meet! (If you have already registered and are not participating in the website, you may still go back and edit your registration.) Read what one participant has to say: |
"Thank you for setting up the interactive website for the SBIR National Conference. I have been following all of the new attendees each week that have signed up and have my first meeting setup for this upcoming week. It has been very interesting to see the variety of companies and services taking part in this years' conference." VP & COO - Synectic | |
The SBIR Program Has Been Under the Gun Now more than ever it is important to show your support for your program. Nothing shows support more than showing up and demonstrating your commitment. If you have won before and are still undecided about coming you will be missing out on a great conference that provides ACCESS to global companies, small businesses, investors, federal laboratories, universities, and of course all 11 SBIR agencies. All three days have important presentations, workshops, networking events and partnering/commercialization opportunities. Frankly, it's the cheapest possible way a company can network with small, medium and large companies, agencies, laboratories, universities -- all under one roof. Check out Day Three: There is a strong Aerospace program on Day 3 There is also a half-day track on healthcare that should not be missed. NASA will be featuring their programs. Smart Energy will also be the topic of a half-day workshop. More |
