What is an Industry Day?
An Industry Day is the collaboration and networking between industry and government. Industry Days provides an opportunity for the government to forecast and solicit feedback on its contracting opportunities. Industry Days provide a rare opportunity to meet with government program/procurement officers and prime contractors, as well as network with potential partners.
MCCC is dedicated to the success of small business government contractors. Montgomery County is #2 in the U.S. for the number of small businesses that sell to the Federal government; thus, it is an MCCC priority to help accelerate the success of these businesses through programming and advocacy.
