The 11th Annual Regional Contracting Forum was held on April 2, 2013. Click here for photos from the event!

Plan Your Trip:
Structured as a "reverse trade show" the event is designed to provide business people direct access to regional contracting representatives in a semi-structured setting. Representatives from local, state, and county jurisdictions staff exhibit booths and are available to speak one-on-one with event attendees. Through the day there will be a variety of workshop presentations/panel discussions and one-on-one networking sessions. Business resource organizations are also on hand to provide attendee with assistance and information to help their businesses grow. In order to maintain its focus on small businesses, the RCF is sponsored by the Regional Agency Major Sponsors and contributing partners, which allows business owners and representatives to attend the Forum free of charge.
