Barry_A_Stevens@cup.portal.com (06/21/88)

I am looking for conferences at which issues of procurement, government
contracting and subcontracting, and others relevant to doing business
with the government are discussed. 
     I would appreciate any suggestions.
     Thanks in advance.

      A few years ago, I attended the first Army AI conference.  There
was a strong resemblance to feeding time at the Marine World sea lion pool.

	To begin with, I wrote a book on this exact subject which I
believe is quite helpful.  It is called "Proposal Writing for the Data
Processing Consultant" (Roetzheim:  Prentice-Hall, 1986), and it
covers all aspects of the government procurement process, including
subcontracting.

	The next best source for general seminars is the small business
administration.  For example, they put on a free seminar in San Diego
on this subject at least once per year.

	The third place to check is with your local congressman.  They are
quite willing (normally eager) to help by recommending appropriate people
to talk to for assistance.  All local congressmen were at the last small 
business procurement seminar I attended.
