The USCG Industry Expo is a booth-style format engagement — vendors interested in doing business with the USCG are invited to register and join us!  Registration begins March 1.

Registration is for your COMPANY and you will receive one tabletop for a display about your products/services.  This is an EXPO, not a traditional industry day.  It takes place in Washington, D.C. and registration is FREE but REQUIRED.  Space is limited.  Up to 4 participants per company are allowed.

The audience for this event will primarily consist of USCG (active-duty or civilian) attendees and targeted vendor companies. In this setting, the event is a unique forum for sharing industry capabilities and capacity to meet the business needs/mission of USCG. Additionally, in this open-dialogue format, USCG attendees can network with industry, learn more about industry capabilities and how the USCG Contracting Enterprise procurement process can strengthen industry communication, engagement, innovation for mission execution.
