Mission-Ready: Small Business Contracting Summit

Mission-Ready: Small Business Contracting Summit is an opportunity for small and veteran-owned businesses to learn how to access and secure government contracting opportunities at city, state and federal levels.

Summit participants will gain practical, step-by-step guidance on government and defense procurement processes, including how to register in bidding systems, find opportunities, submit competitive proposals, and track contract awards. The program equips small business owners with the knowledge and tools needed to compete successfully across multiple levels of government.

The next summit will be held Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026, and will be hosted in partnership with Shoppas and the Lone Star Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA). More information about the event is below.
