Highlights at PROCON are our small business panels where small business success stories share the challenges encountered. Our Corporate Partner panel is asked to provide technical details and insight as a roadmap to success.
Trade Expo:
This particular event also serves our corporate partners and sponsors – it allows both small and large companies the opportunity to showcase their products and services, leveraging the buying and selling exposure to the public.
Business Matching:
Business “matchmaking” appointments are being scheduled with corporations to individually meet with small business owners to discuss opportunities. This year ABAOC will be administering small business criteria according to each corporate participant. Small businesses meeting these requirements will have an opportunity to meet face to face with Corporate Procurement. Companies not yet prepared to meet the procurement criteria will have an opportunity to meet with small business coaches and corporate diversity members to discuss further development and scheduling for continuing workshops in preparation for next year. To schedule your appointment, contact the office (949)222-2291
