  • Small Business Enterprise Playbook
  • Engineering and Construction Management System (ECMS)
  • Consultant Agreements
  • Business Partner Registration
  • Prequalification
  • "How to Avoid Payment issues"

The afternoon portion includes a panel discussion and a networking/relationship building session.
