To kick-off the event this year, NSBC will host a Networking Breakfast where DSS-W customers, area government small business representatives and the vendor community will have the opportunity to network with one another. The event will take place at the Sheraton National Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. DSS-W procures contracts for over 300 federal customers: Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Army, Army Materiel Command, Chief of Staff, Joint Staff, Secretary of the Air Force, Office of the Surgeon General, and many other DoD agencies. All technical and contracting personnel from the following agencies will be invited: the Pentagon, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Marine Corps HQ, Navy Annex, and Henderson Hall, along with all DSS-W customer agencies. We expect anywhere from 300-350 government personnel to attend.

In addition, a working luncheon will be included in the program, where large and small businesses will be challenged to work together to gain a competitive edge.
