Attention SDVOBs: Ohio Business Matchmaker Event

The following is an important announcement from SBA Columbus District Director, Thomas K. Mueller:

Dear Veteran:
On March 18, 2009, the U.S. Small Business Administration together with the State of Ohio and other co-sponsors is having a Business Matchmaking Event in Dayton Ohio. We are sending this flyer to you before we send it to the general public because you are a Disabled Veteran Owned small business owner and many of the buying entities have expressed an interest in doing business with Disabled Veteran Owned Companies to meet their government mandated goals.

This event is a unique opportunity for buyers and sellers of goods and services to come together. Approximately 120 buyers will be on hand for one-on-one meetings with small businesses. These buyers are from city, state, county, and federal agencies, as well as prime contractors and other organizations with combined purchasing budgets representing billions of dollars worth of opportunities. You will be participating in the largest business matchmaking event ever held in Ohio.

Last year we had to end registration after two weeks due to lack of space with 700 sellers registering. This year we have increased the amount of space and the number of buyers and so we hope there is not an issue.
