More About MCCC Industry Day Events

MCCC GovConNet Council partners with various federal agencies to provide members with access to Federal Government officials, prime contractors, and professional service providers. Guest speakers offer procurement opportunities, updates, and market intelligence to improve your government contracting skills and targets.

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.
