The SAME Small Business Conference for DOD Engineering, Construction and Environmental Programs provides business leaders an opportunity to identify key contracting partners, learn of upcoming projects and opportunities, and generate new business. SAME is developing a high quality, informative program through collaboration with the small business offices at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA), as well as the SAME National Small Business Council.

Education sessions and panel discussions will address the ins-and-outs of business practices with the uniformed services and Department of Defense (DOD) agencies, as well as how to navigate the maze of federal contracting.
