Opportunities 2012 is a one day conference in Asheville, North Carolina designed to bring small business sellers together with buyers from the federal government and large prime contractors. It features a “reverse” trade show, where small business owners have the opportunity to visit government and prime contractor booths to discuss potential buying opportunities as well as attend informative seminars on government contracting. Opportunities has a long history including eight previous conferences and attendance has ranged between 450 and 590 participants, plus 55 or more booths for federal agencies and prime contractors. Past conference evaluations have been consistently excellent with many small businesses, federal agencies and prime contractors reporting success in developing new business opportunities. The event attracts media attention both before and the day of the event. We expect similar attendance and results at this year’s event to be held Monday, March 19th at The Grove Park Inn, Asheville, North Carolina www.groveparkinn.com . The 2012 conference is being held in cooperation with Senator Richard Burr, Senator Kay Hagan, Representative Patrick McHenry (NC-10) and Representative Heath Shuler (NC-11) .
