DOAS and Georgians First Commission hosting Georgia Small Business Symposium Feb. 12, 2020

January 9, 2020 By Nancy Cleveland

The Georgia Department of Administrative Services (DOAS), in collaboration with the Georgians First Commission, is hosting a one-day professional development/learning and networking symposium for small businesses.  This inaugural event will provide the following opportunities:

  • Learn about how to do business with the State of Georgia
  • Learn about upcoming bid opportunities
  • Connect with purchasing professionals throughout the State
  • Meet and network with local resources and potential partners
  • Discover technical college and university-based programs that offer business
    and industry assistance, technology commercialization, and economic
    development advice
  • Understand key resources available to small businesses, including training and development of a business plan and marketing strategy 

The symposium sessions and workshops will be educational and interactive in nature, including audience question and answer opportunities with speakers.  In addition, we offer networking opportunities to encourage small businesses to connect and hear directly from various state entities about what they are purchasing, what they are looking for in terms of a good supplier, as well as how small business providers can fill the state’s equipment, services and capability gaps.  To encourage collaboration and partnering with the State’s larger suppliers, we will have a reverse trade show exhibit for small businesses to obtain additional information on potential opportunities.

GTPAC hosts Atlanta Government Contracting Day event

May 31, 2019 By Nancy Cleveland

On Tuesday, May 21, 2019, the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (“GTPAC”) hosted an event called Atlanta Government Contracting Day.  The purpose of the event was to provide general information and education on how to be a successful government contractor in Georgia.  The event also served as a platform to provide attendees with awareness of resources that could provide assistance to small businesses looking to participate in the government market.

Over 60 small businesses attended the event from a wide variety of industries.  GTPAC wants to thank everyone who attended the event, and our resources partners (SBA, SBDC, SCORE, State of Georgia Purchasing Division) who participated.  The event was a huge success and we could not have done it without the help of our resource partners and the great support that was also provided by our friends at The Contracting Education Academy at Georgia Tech.

For those who did not attend, you can download and review the event slideshow presentations below:
