The Summit offers a hands-on introduction to public-sector contracting\, with a strong emphasis on opportunities in local government.
Hosted by the Colorado Small Business Development Center (SBDC) serving Boulder County\, the Summit will feature certification and contracting trainings\, representatives and procurement professionals from local municipalities and school districts\, as well as regional and state agencies and other local public-sector partners. Attendees will gain practical insight into how local and regional government procurement works\, what they look for in qualified vendors\, and how to prepare and position their businesses to compete for public contracts.
Unlike the full-scale Contract Opportunities Expo\, the Summit is intentionally smaller and more interactive\, creating space for meaningful conversations and targeted workshops. Whether you'\;re new to government contracting or looking to strengthen your local municipal pipeline\, this event is designed to help you build confidence and connections.
