• Topic: SBA Goals That Impact Your Pipeline, Positioning & Opportunities 
  • Small Business Owners, don't miss this important conversation:
    Leaders from HHS, VA, and NASA are coming together to break down the new SBA goal format and what it means for federal agencies and for the small businesses trying to work with them.
    They’ll share exactly how their offices plan to meet SBA’s updated contracting goals, the strategies behind their methodology, and how these changes will directly impact your pipeline, your positioning, and your opportunities.
  • If you’re a small business in the federal space, this session is non‑negotiable. With the government targeting 23% of all contracting dollars for small businesses, understanding how agencies intend to reach those goals gives you a real advantage.
    You’ll walk away knowing:
    • How these new goals affect small business portfolios
    • What agencies are prioritizing
    • How to stay ahead of upcoming opportunities
    Show up. Take notes. Position your business to win.
• 10:45 AM - 11:00 AM Closing Remarks & Networking
