Small disadvantaged businesses can get some face-to-face time with federal contractors and other small businesses who have been successful in landing government contracts in a series of matchmaking meetings hosted by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The free Mentor-Prot?g? Matchmaking Conference series is set for Denver on April 11.

The program gives small disadvantaged businesses access to guidance on federal contracting, face-to-face meetings and opportunities to team with larger businesses and graduates of the SBA?s business development program.

During the forums, small businesses will learn how to market themselves to the federal government and go after government contracting opportunities.? They will also get an overview of the SBA?s Mentor-Prot?g? program ? a tool of the SBA program that encourages mentors to team with a prot?g? or smaller firm to help them with management and technical assistance, financial assistance and access to joint ventures and federal contracting opportunities.

?Although we are encouraged by the economic indicators trending upward, we are still facing challenging economic times,? said? Karen Mills, SBA Administrator.? ?That?s why it?s important that we make sure that more federal contracts get into the hands of small businesses that drive the nation?s economy and create jobs.?

Small disadvantaged businesses and 8(a) firms interested in attending must register at: http://sba.mybusinessmatches.com/buyers/generalinfo. Approximately 300 small businesses will be matched prior to their meetings based on their compatibility.
