22nd Annual OSDBU Procurement Conference 2012

Tips to Help Make the Most of This Conference

Do your homework! Review the Procurement Opportunities page to identify your target agencies and learn as much as you can about what the agencies purchase and how.
Be sure your registration in the CCR is current. Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the official, FREE on-line registrant database for the U.S. Federal Government. CCR collects, validates, stores and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition and award missions. For more information go to www.bpn.gov/ccr/.
Send at least 2 representatives from your company. One of you can attend the sessions, the other can “work” the exhibit floor and/or participate in the matchmaking sessions
Have a clear, concise capability statement that includes business type (socio-economic status), NAIC codes and a description of your products and services. This should either be on a 1-page document, available on a url that you distribute or through a QR code.
Travel light! A coat/luggage check will NOT be available. You will be provided with a conference tote bag, a notebook and a program. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water. You’ll be doing a lot of networking!
Bring lots of business cards!
Use the METRO! The Walter E. Washington Convention Center is conveniently located on the Yellow Line.
View the exhibit floor plan and map out your day. This is updated daily as new agencies and businesses register.
Check out the agenda on-line. It will be updated with speakers and abstracts as they become available.
Review the Location/Details page carefully.
