Terrapins Connect Live: Government Contracting

The Alumni Association is excited to announce Terrapins Connect Live: Reimagining the Future of Government Contracting

Wednesday, November 15 | 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Crown and Crow | Washington, DC
1317 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20005

You are invited to join fellow alums working in and around the government contracting industry. In addition to networking, you will also hear from experts in the field. A panel of Terps representing multiple facets of the government contracting space, will view the industry through a policy lens, with particular focus on the areas of government, business & academia.

It's not often that government contractors have the opportunity to build relationships and exchange ideas with others who speak the same language and are navigating similar business landscapes. We invite you to be a part of this dialogue.
