The "how to" includes identifying and utilizing the various Partners out there, poised and ready to help you as you move toward the final phase - Commercialization! Key sessions in this conference will focus on Hot Technology Topics, How to identify and utilize the right partners, Mentoring programs, Opportunities for women and minorities, and, the business of doing business with the government including managing government grants and contracts, IP, accounting and audits.
Programming will be provided in a two or three track format to maximize the information presented. To help your company maximize your participation, a New Registration Option for multiple attendees from one company is available this time - Check the Registration Section for details! For those of you looking for more concentrated, hands on sessions, we are happy to offer optional workshops, available in addition to the basic conference programming.

Remember&..Successful SBIR/STTR ventures not only create successful companies, they create JOBS. Jobs in your area, jobs in your state, jobs in your country! More and more large corporations are outsourcing and looking for the innovative help provided by smaller companies. How do you tap into this network? How do you move from idea to product? This conference program has been developed with that total journey in mind!
