“The Summit is the premier, best-established and most-recognized federal construction event in the Southeast – businesses who are already engaged or want to perform in the federal market need to be there,” NCMBC says.
“Program and Issues Dialogues” address future projects and acquisition strategies, contractor experiences, teaming and supplier opportunities and other issues related to acquisition and execution of projects at military bases and government throughout the Southeast.
These sessions also include information on federal opportunities in environmental engineering and remediation, energy and horizontal infrastructure (including roads and intersections, water, wastewater, natural gas and other utilities)
Other summit sessions address critical and timely topics, including supplier, service contract and public-private opportunities, small business programs and utilization, budget impacts, contracting processes and pre- and post-award legal issues for federal contractors
Summit networking and trade show activities allow businesses to market their services and products more than 700 general contractors, specialty contractors, engineers, architects and suppliers
“In addition, pre-summit networking opportunities include a golf event hosted and organized by the Cape Fear Post of the Society of American Military Engineers and an evening Summit Social at Ironclad Brewery in downtown Wilmington – a huge hit from for the past several years,” the statement says.
