The conference will provide an opportunity for small businesses to discuss contracting and subcontracting opportunities with major corporations, federal agencies, local government agencies and JPL's purchasing and technical communities. Various "how-to" workshops will include information about conducting business with JPL and the federal government, certification programs offered by the federal government and JPL's future needs. "This conference is a great platform for small businesses to become informed about potential opportunities through workshops and networking," said Edgar Murillo, High-Tech Conference coordinator and a small-business administrator at JPL.
