I attended the Winter Showcase event held on 23 Feb 2017. It was my first experience with your organization’s activities and I was really impressed. From my perspective, the format you provided offered several key elements, namely:
-Informative (and engaging) session introductory speakers
-Comprehensive representation of government agencies by spokespeople responsive to the Business community
-Access to these people during the course of the day both in formal matchmaking talks and informal chats
-The opportunity to interact and mingle with the business community attendees was an added plus
All in all, a well thought out and valuable event for business development efforts. I look forward to attending your season’s events.
Respectfully,
John B. Chamberlain

Good Day,
Would like to show our appreciation for all the hard work and time that was put in this event. Vaune was VERY helpful in working with us. We are looking forward to the FT Belvoir Expo. It was definitely worth participating and did receive a few good leads, thanks to Vaune’s hard work ! Looking forward to seeing all of you at Ft Belvoir.
Thank You,
Louis Marini - President
Do you have the group package for 2017? It was an awesome package and I wanted to buy the season pass for 2017.

GovConnectx does exactly what the name says, connect businesses to potential Government customers. The Federal government buys virtually every commercial product and service available. Frequently it is the largest single buyer of many of these items. The Government is also a very large entity with 15 cabinet level departments and literally hundreds of sub and independent agencies. They all buy things. How do you navigate this monster? GovConnectx is the best way for any business to enter the Federal market. You will learn how to use available services to find the best business opportunities for you. These very knowledgeable presenters help you find where you fit in, how to effectively bid and therefore best use your business development resources to navigate this unique market.

Vaune, your recent Winter Showcase was my first event with Covconectx. I must give you and your staff a five star rating for putting together such a great event. I believe I may some good contacts but only time will tell. I am very much looking forward the your next event and I will be passing this along to my colleagues.
Thanks again..
