Join us for a unique opportunity to connect with key stakeholders, discover new business opportunities, and expand your network within the federal government sector.

This event is designed to facilitate one-on-one meetings between suppliers, manufacturers, and procurement officers from the Department of Defense, other governmental agencies, and prime contractor OEMs, aiming to enhance collaboration and integration across the defense supply chain.

We are also hosting a free webinar series on government contracting to help you prepare for your potential matchmaking session! Whether you are new to government contracting or have been a contractor for years, this series has something for everyone!

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the U.S. Department of Defense prioritized the modernization of factories to increase the global competitiveness of American manufacturing. “Buy American” legislation refers to a set of laws, policies, and regulations that encourage or require federal government agencies and entities receiving federal funding to purchase American-made products and materials. The goal is to promote domestic manufacturing, support local jobs, and strengthen the national economy.

This event provides an opportunity for manufacturers (sellers) in the Midwest to meet with government primes/OEMS (prospective buyers).

Who Should Attend

The ideal attendees are:

• Representatives from small and mid-sized manufacturers who currently sell into the defense industrial base but would like to explore additional sales opportunities
• Representatives from small and mid-sized manufacturers who would like to expand their sales channels into the defense industrial base
• Manufacturers who want to be matched with small and mid-sized manufacturers for support with supply chain needs
