U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU)

In observance of Veteran’s Day, the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) will host its 2nd Annual Small Business Summit: Accelerating Veteran Small Business Success at USDOT on Thursday, November 14, 2024, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The purpose of this day-long, in-person event is to celebrate and recognize our veteran small business owners and their service to this great nation. The event will have various sessions focused on contract opportunities for small businesses, small business subcontracting, certifications and goals for veteran owned small businesses (VOSB), and access to capital.

The first half of the day will include panel sessions with subject matter experts on how to do business with USDOT, best practices for federal contracting, and how to increase SDVOSB utilization. The remaining half of the event will be dedicated to one-on-one business matchmaking via our Connections MarketPlace (CMP) platform, an interactive Business Expo, and Access to Capital roundtable sessions.

We are focusing outreach efforts to SDVOSB firms, but this event is open to all small businesses and socioeconomic groups.
