The conference was a huge success and delivered:

  • Over 30 representatives of the principal federal contracting agencies in Puerto Rico showcasing the products and services they are looking for;
  • One-on-one sessions where the participants were able to market to 20 federal agencies;
  • A spectrum of education from basic topics to in depth roundtable discussions and case studies;
  • Networking opportunities to foster business relationships.

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped make it such an extraordinary event. We hope to see you at next year's conference. Here are the presentations that were given (in PDF format):

Remember these numbers: $529 billion per year, $1.4 billion a day, $60.4 million per hour, $1 million per minute, almost $16,774 per second. These quantities represent the purchases of the Federal Government in 2008. If you're not currently doing business with the USA Government, some other companyone that sells the same product or service that you provideis getting a larger portion of the government market. Selling to the Federal Government can provide significant revenues for your business—and the process is not as complicated as you may think.
