From the Tuscaloosa County Industrial Development Authority
On behalf of the Tuscaloosa County Industrial Development Authority (TCIDA) and GE Aviation (GEA), businesses are invited to participate in the GE Aviation Business Supplier Symposium, on September 29th, 2011, at the Bryant Conference Center in Tuscaloosa. This symposium will provide an exclusive opportunity for small and midsized businesses to connect directly with GE Aviation, GEA’s regional Tier 1 suppliers, as well as other local Alabama buyers.
The TCIDA is facilitating the symposium to stimulate new market opportunities for companies and others across Alabama. Its purpose is to match various small business interests with large corporations and defense contractors that offer contract opportunities. Small businesses and buyers will have the opportunity for private, one-on-one appointments, and are expected to generate new public and private contract leads for your business.
At the event there will be an opportunity to request an appointment with your commodity focus. The one-on-one appointments will create a structured environment to maximize time. Each buyer will also have an exhibit area for additional networking opportunities to meet various commodity focal points for GE Aviation and their Tier 1’s.
We hope you will consider participating in the upcoming symposium. Registration cost, which includes lunch, is $25.00 per Person to be paid in cash at check-in of event with no more than two representatives per business.
