As announced previously, we were very happy to participate in a recent seminar on government contracting in connection with the Associated Builders and Contractors - Metro Washington Chapter.  The seminar, which took place last week, was a great success with a room that was filled to capacity, some great speakers and information, and very enjoyable and educational experience for me as a participant and speaker.  The response is certainly indicative of the interest in government contracting topics right now.

For those interested, here is a copy of our presentation materials which addressed different contract vehicles and bidding methods, common procurement issues, and the process of bid protests in particular.
