Regional Contracting Forum

Held in Seattle's historic Union Station, the Regional Contracting Forum is an annual event that brings together representatives from cities, counties, port authorities, and state agencies so contractors, consultants, and suppliers can network and meet government contracting representatives.

Structured as a "reverse trade show," the event is designed to provide businesspeople direct access to regional contracting representatives in a semi-structured setting.  Representatives from local, state, and county jurisdictions have booths available to speak one-on-one with event attendees.  Also, agency representatives give presentations that outline upcoming contracting opportunities and how small businesses can bid and compete for those opportunities. Business resource organizations are also on hand to provide attendees with assistance and information to help their businesses grow. In order to maintain its focus on small businesses, the RCF is sponsored by the Regional Collaboration Group, which allows individuals to attend the Forum free of charge.

The Forum website serves as the information warehouse for materials provided during Forum presentations where you can download presentations and handout materials, and view pictures from previous Forums. Be sure to check the News page for the latest information on the upcoming Forum.
