4.   Meet us in Miami: The networking is boundless, contracting opportunities-- private and government, the aura of beautiful Miami, and a 5 star hotel to boot, mouthwatering food (whole roasted suckling pig, fresh fish grilled in banana leaves), inspiring keynote speakers and our international friends, these are the ingredients of the best conference of the year. Don’t miss it! You’ll be sorry!
