About this Event
Win More Local Government Contracts
State, local, and education agencies buy billions of dollars in products and services every year. Most small businesses never submit a proposal because they don't know where to start.
During this two day hands on workshop bootcamp, you'll learn how to register with local agencies, find opportunities in your area, and write a proposal you can actually submit.

We are active SLED and Federal contractors who have lost AND won proposals with Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton County, City of East Point, City of Jonesboro, South Fulton, MARTA, DeKalb County Public Schools, and more.

“The Summit was PHENOMENAL. It meets you where you are…”
Local Contracting Summit alumna Rena Jones shares how the Summit goes beyond presentations. It’s a working session where attendees create capability statements, work on proposals, and learn how to use those materials to pursue government contracts. Hear it directly from someone who’s been in the room.
