Registrations open for annual Indian Country Business Summit

The ICBS Show is accepting online registrations from attendees and exhibitors of the annual business conference focused on government markets.

This year’s summit spotlight is on the HUBZone program. Large and small businesses will meet with buyers and agency officials from federal, state and local governments at the 2019 ICBS Show Aug. 20-21 at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center, Norman.

The show, now in its 13th year, is hosted by the Oklahoma Bid Assistance Network and the Tribal Government Institute, Oklahoma’s two procurement technical assistance centers. Click for event information and registration forms. Discounted early bird rates expire Aug. 1.

Participating firms will have the benefit of marketing their products and services to procurement representatives and small business specialists from government agencies. Companies may choose to set up an exhibit booth to showcase their capabilities or may come as attendees.

ICBS organizers are excited to introduce a new opportunity for ICBS exhibitors and private business participants: a business-to-business matchmaking event from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Aug. 19. The event will give ICBS business participants an opportunity to network and build stronger business referral networks. B2B matchmaking offers ICBS participants a unique opportunity to find new products and services from other businesses engaged in government contracting.

The ICBS Show generates business networking and training centered on federal, state, local and tribal procurement. The business summit is a regional conference fostering business partnerships among the federal government, its prime contractors and small, minority, service-disabled veteran-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone and women-owned businesses.

OBAN, Oklahoma’s PTAC, offers business counseling through 12 local technology centers across the state. OBAN locations and contact information are available at www.okbid.org.

TGI is a Native American PTAC providing counseling and services to tribal enterprises and native-owned companies within the service areas of the Southern Plains and Eastern Oklahoma regions of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Information regarding TGI is available at www.tgiok.com.
