Why is this event so important to your business?
$6.4 Billion!!! That’s how much money the State of Maryland awarded in goods and services in 2008. Maryland has the most aggressive Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) program in the country with 20.3% MBE participation and a goal to increase that by another 4.7%. Learn how to take advantage of the multitude of opportunities to sell to government and large prime contractors. Government contractors share their secrets. Discover which of the over 60 federal, state and local agencies are looking for companies services and products. YOU set up YOUR OWN 15 minute one-on-one Pre-Scheduled MatchMaking Meetings as soon as you register! Get Noticed! Market your Company to the over 400 people expected.
A primary challenge for business is to be aware of current regulations and guidelines. This conference provides opportunities to meet buyers and contracting officers from major military bases, the surrounding states and large companies to discuss business opportunities. Educational sessions will provide current information on emerging new standards and provide you with the tools to bid and contract successfully, gain valuable information and share success stories. This is your opportunity as a supplier to identify potential new contracting sources and network with buyers and other attendees.
Unbelievable value for your time. Can you accomplish the same while sitting at your desk for 8 hours???!!!
What is the format for the day?
Keep in mind -- THIS IS A TOOL IN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS. DO NOT EXPECT TO WIN A CONTRACT ON-SITE. Ask pertinent questions.
Building a Trusted Website:
National surveys show that the top three concerns users have about their online experience, particularly when ecommerce is concerned, are: 1) Is my personal information safe and secure?; 2) can I trust the site and the information on it?; and, 3) does the site represent a credible business and has a comprehensive and easy-to-understand Privacy Policy?
Your trust is important to us. Our website has been carefully designed and is being improved continuously in order to provide you with an informative, enjoyable, credible, and secure online experience.
For example, we use state-of-the-art, 128-bit Extended Validation security technology like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect your e-Commerce transactions. Also, we partner with national and/or international organizations that are committed to maintaining the highest possible standards of service, security, reliability and trust, such as the Better Business Bureau, McAfee Secure, EventBrite, Verisign, 1&1, and Paypal.
Finally, we have developed policies and operating procedures to protect your privacy, and have periodic, one-on-one training of our staff to ensure that they are faithfully followed.
If you have questions about the security and reliability of our website, do not hesitate to contact me at President@MAHCC.org.

About our Calendar of Events:
The MAHCC Calendar of Events does not include regular or special meetings of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, meetings of the different standing and ad-hoc committees, or any other activity where attendance is restricted to "members only."
Although we are a multilingual organization, unless otherwise indicated MAHCC-sponsored events are conducted in ENGLISH.
Inclement Weather Policy:
In the rare occasion that an event or meeting may be cancelled due to inclement weather, the MAHCC adheres to the Federal Government policy: If the Federal Government closes, events and meetings are cancelled, and if it announces a liberal leave policy, events will be held, but attendees should consider safety first in their decision to attend. Every effort will be made to post an event cancellation notice on the MAHCC website but, in its absence, the MAHCC Inclement Weather Policy takes precedence.
Moreover, since the MAHCC must pay for cancelled events, costs may not be refunded in whole or in part. Please call the Chamber office at 301-404-1946 for further information.
