Thursday, June 27 – BELL 5th Annual Business & Government Contracting Summit
Here’s your opportunity to connect directly with the decision-makers behind government contracts. During the “Meet the Buyers” panel, representatives from key public agencies—including CalTrans, SANDAG, the Port of San Diego, and APEX Accelerator—will provide valuable insight into what they’re buying, how they buy it, and how your business can get involved.
This engaging session will cover:
  • Current and upcoming contracting opportunities across multiple sectors
  • Procurement requirements and processes specific to each agency
  • How to prepare your business to become a qualified vendor
  • Tips for standing out during the bidding process
  • What agencies look for in long-term partners
  • The role of certifications and compliance in supplier selection
Beyond the panel discussion, attendees will have the chance to ask questions, engage in meaningful conversations, and network with buyers
Whether you’re new to government contracting or looking to expand your reach, this session is an essential stop on your B2G journey. 
This project is funded in whole or in part with City of San Diego Funds.
