Bill Posey Hosting Federal Contracts Conference in August

On Thursday, U.S. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., announced he would be hosting a conference on federal contracting at Florida Tech in Melbourne on Aug. 5-6.

Many of our local businesses specialize in technology, innovation and services that are applicable to meeting the needs of federal agencies, said Posey. Learning how to navigate the federal procurement process and accessing decision-makers within federal agencies helps Space Coast businesses and workers compete.

The federal government represents a key opportunity for Space Coast companies to tap into a funding source and client base that values innovation, precision and hard work all hallmarks of the Space Coasts increasingly vibrant economy, said Lynda Weatherman, the president and CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Floridas Space Coast. We thank Congressman Posey for hosting this important event and encourage our countys strong base of defense and technology companies to participate."
