Conference attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a full day of learning discussions led by program and small business procurement officials from USDA, and other Federal agencies.
The event will be held on Wednesday, November 5, 2014, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Embassy Suites Hotel, 7290 Commerce Center, Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
