Government Contracting Networking Strategies for 2026 presented by Florida APEX Accelerators at UCF

Event description

Get Ready for Networking in 2026!

Networking is a core component of a strong business development strategy for government contracting at any level. As much as possible, you want to interact in person with your targeted prospects. As you start to fire up your 2026 networking strategy, we have developed this training session to help you refresh your awareness of some techniques and best practices for networking, whether you are an experienced government contractor or have just recently begun exploring the government contracting process.

During this session, we will discuss:

• The value of a customized capability statement as your primary tool
• Don’t take your elevator speech for granted… your competitors don’t.
• Other tools that can be helpful in the networking process, such as assessment tools and white papers
• Be prepared for them to ‘Check You Out’ online… what do your SBA Profile, website, and LinkedIn say about your interest in government contracting?

 Importantly, we will discuss the upcoming “Reverse Trade Show” scheduled for March 25, 2026. If you haven’t already – MARK YOUR CALENDAR – for this great networking event! Registration will launch soon.

This webinar is sponsored by the Florida SBDC at UCF.
