Who should attend
This event is a fit for founders and small business owners in Maryland and the wider DMV who sell, or want to sell, into the defense market. If you are new to the region, an event like this is a practical way to learn how others approach defense contracting and to meet potential partners in person. Founders already working with or near bwtech@UMBC will also find it an easy way to connect with the park's community.
