About the Conference

Business Opportunities, hosted annually by ETEBA, is one of the fastest growing conferences focused on federal contracting opportunities. Representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy and its prime contractors, the Department of Defense, and a number of other agencies present their latest information about upcoming procurements and how to do business with them.

Exhibit Opportunities offer numerous occasions for exhibitors to meet with prospective clients and increase business prospects. All exhibits come with a 6’ draped table, two chairs, one wastebasket, two free full registrations that include all breakfasts and breaks, lunch, opening reception, exhibitor’s reception, and access to presentations.

Sponsorships are available from $500 to $10,000; benefits are based on the amount of sponsorship.

For questions, contact Grace Miller at 865.947.5505.
