The National SBIR Conference, TechConnect, and the National Innovation Summit and Showcase: May 13 - May 16, 2013

For the first time, this year’s National SBIR conference will be co-located with the 15th Annual TechConnect World and the National Innovation Summit and Showcase in Washington, DC from May 13 through May 16 2013. The National Innovation Summit and Showcase is designed to accelerate commercialization of American innovation by providing the world’s largest on site match making with investors, whereas the National SBIR Conference will provide important information for small businesses and stakeholders who are competing for SBIR/STTR contracts.

The SBIR/STTR program is one of the largest federally funded R&D grant programs providing over $2.5 billion dollars in contracts to innovative small business firms annually. We expect over 4,000 innovators, agency leads, corporate partners and investors to participate in this conference. This new event format gives you the best of both worlds. Whether you are a veteran or a beginner innovator, you will find something to suit you. This conference offers a range of activities including one- on -one meetings with program managers, to information sessions on your technical SBIR/STTR questions.

Registration prices go up after March 30, 2013, so register early if possible.
