This year the SAME Philadelphia Post is combining our Small Business Conference and Resilience Symposium.
The Philadelphia District’s dredging and beneficial use of dredging material program is the largest expenditure of funds for the District. However, it has one of the lowest small business participation in the District! Are you a small business that has interest in participating in this program? Come join the SAME Philadelphia Post Resilience and Small Business Symposium to hear a fireside chat with District subject matter experts and small businesses actively participating in the District’s Resilience and Dredging programs! Do you have a few small business concerns that should be talking points? Submit them to the Post! Also hear the Corps’ upcoming contracts forecast! If you’re not joining SAME SBC 2024 in New Orleans this year, this is your opportunity to get Philadelphia and Baltimore District’s contracting forecast! EMAIL: info@samephiladelphiapost.org
Exhibit space and sponsorships are open!
PDHs are available! We will share the agenda so you can self report them.
