# VetBizWeek Offers Procurement Training

VetBizWeek 2026 is a no-cost virtual small-business conference running November 10–12, 2026, with sessions on business development, funding, AI, and government procurement. Its procurement component is training and expert guidance—not a solicitation or contract opportunity—so it is relevant to veterans and military-connected entrepreneurs building the knowledge and connections to pursue government business. The event begins in four days; event inquiries and registration assistance are available from Transition Skills Training.

- Veterans, military-connected entrepreneurs, first responders, and their families can use the procurement sessions and practical resources to strengthen their understanding of government contracting.
- The conference also offers networking with subject-matter experts and potential collaborators, which may help attendees identify resources for business development.
- Procurement professionals and industry stakeholders serving veteran-owned businesses can share the event as a no-cost training resource; the signal identifies no contract awards, solicitation numbers, or proposal deadlines.
- For event inquiries or registration assistance, contact Julie Niehoff at julie@transitionskillstraining.org or 469-667-5651.
