Intent of these meetings:� The AE SB Forums are intended to for USSOCOM to assess the state of its SB program and to allow small businesses to discuss barriers to doing business with USSOCOM, provide input as to what USSOCOM is doing well, and provide suggestions for ways to make doing business with USSOCOM easier.� These roundtables are not meant to be an opportunity for firms to present their capabilities to USSOCOM, or to receive a forecast of upcoming requirements USSOCOM would like to have participation from all socio-economic categories and a variety of industries.� In person attendance is limited to 25 individuals; virtual attendance is limited to 150 individuals.� In an effort to maximize the number of firms able to participate, participation is restricted to one registration (either in person or virtual) per small business.� Therefore, each firm shall only submit one request for one individual to attend.� Please note that for virtual registrations, multiple people from the same firm may participate, as long as it is from the same connection (ex.� Multiple people gather in a conference room and participate using the conference room computer.)� In person attendees will not be given a link for other individuals to attend. Requesting multiple slots may result in no participants from the firm being selected to participate. Expected of attendees: We are actively soliciting your comments/feedback.� Please be willing and prepared to engage/discuss. When discussing barriers or ways to do business easier, please provide examples of issues and possible solutions.

Even if you requested an invitation to a previous roundtable but were not selected to attend, you must respond to this notice in order to be considered for this roundtable. The criteria considered when selecting both in person and virtual attendees (in no particular order and not listed in order of importance) - Socioeconomic status (we would like representation from each socioeconomic category (SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, VOSB, and SDVOSB) - Products and/or services provided (we lean more towards firms that provide what we buy, but want a variety of industries represented) - Experience with USSOCOM (we would like a mix of experienced and inexperienced firms) - The last time your firm has attended a SB Roundtable (we want to afford all firms an opportunity to attend a roundtable) - When your request to attend was received; and - Where your firm is located (we would like a mix of local and non-local firms).
