Konnichiwa good people!
How did your first week of March go…mine has been going well mainly because of good rainy weather! And I have two amazing giveaways for those who are interested in the GovCon Summits (government contracts). To enter click here and follow instructions for each event you would like to attend.
Disclaimer for tough love If you’ve been saying you want to do business with the government or win government contracts, then you need to be in the building. This summit is packed with knowledge, resources, and people who understand the process. If government contracts are part of your goals this is a good summit to checkout.
Enough tough love! I look forward to seeing everyone for the South Atlanta Business Exchange and next week for the Inspire After Hours Networking Mixer. Make this a great week and here are the announcements!
The Space:
I recently signed up for a new service where it costs only $500 for access to numerous conferences (such as Podcast Summit and Invest Fest) across the country. Keeping it simple this community is for professionals who go to two or more conferences per year or trying to get to that point. To join the community click here. So far my experiences have been great with the organizers and platform.
New section for creative professionals (photographers, models, musicians, beauticians, influencers) has been added. Most of the creative events I haven’t been to personally so please be my eyes and ears. I always want to make sure there is actual networking occurring at the event and it’s not just a ATL Party.
I updated several pages with new events including the Knowledge Desk, Conferences (tech conferences mainly), Vending Opportunities, Summits,
and Leadership Programs.
Random Fact: Doritos were invented in 1964 as a way to repurpose stale tortillas at the Casa de Fritos restaurant in Disneyland. A salesman suggested frying the discarded tortillas, which became an instant, popular hit.
If you’re serious about winning in the government space, this is where you need to be. GovCon Summits brings together federal agencies, prime contractors, small businesses, and industry experts under one roof for real conversations and real opportunities. Whether you’re new to government contracting, trying to break past your current ceiling, or looking to build strategic partnerships, this event puts you in the room with the decision-makers and deal-makers who move the needle.
Walk away with:
• Proven strategies to position your business for federal contracts
• Direct connections with agencies, primes, and fellow contractors
• Insight into certifications, compliance, and navigating the bid process
• Clear next steps to scale your government contracting pipeline
If government contracts are part of your growth strategy, this isn’t just another conference — it’s a room that can shift your trajectory.
