The Representative Ike Skelton Procurement Conference is scheduled for May 29 at the University of Central Missouri from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Now in its 21st year, this day-long event has become a tradition in Missouri, as hundreds of business owners and vendors converge on Warrensburg to learn about government contracting, small business programs for veterans, small business management and SBA regulations and financing.

More than 200 government contracting officers and contractors are invited to exhibit each year. It’s a great opportunity to learn what those agencies are seeking and how your small business might be able to enter the government contracting market. In addition, you can hear from successful government contractors and from contracting officers from the US Navy and Air Force.

Registration is only $49 and includes breakfast and lunch, as well as access to all sessions and exhibitors. Call 660/543-4402 to register or email sbtdc@ucmo.edu.
