Take part in the 2023 National Veterans Small Business Engagement! This engagement is one of the most significant business-networking events for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and firms in other socio-economic categories. This highly requested event will occur at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center (approximately 21 miles south of Orlando).

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) forecasted contract prospects in facilities supplies and services (e.g., construction), medical supplies and services, information technology and professional services will be showcased by program managers. As in previous years, industry supply diversity managers and other government agencies can attend to network with entrepreneurs. The NVSBE presents a unique and valuable opportunity for Procurement Decision Makers (PDM) to connect with Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and small and disadvantaged firms.

Visit the Venue & Lodging section to access the discounted hotel reservation links. Rooms must be booked by October 19, 2023 to guarantee availability and the negotiated rate.

For general questions about the event, please contact Registration@EventPrep.com or call 844-687-2318.

If you want to become a sponsor or exhibitor, please contact NVSBE@EventPrep.com.
