Attendees can expect over 60 content-rich training sessions and access to more than 200 vendors and teaming partners in the industry's largest exhibit hall. VETS26 aims to help Service-Disabled/Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SD/VOSBs) accelerate their growth through high-impact training in business-building strategies and tactics, business networking, and contract opportunities, focusing on federal procurement trends, business opportunities, and federal policy impact on agency acquisition.
