Monthly Introductory Webinars

Did you know government agencies purchase almost everything – from custodial, construction, and IT, to pencils, pet food, and even goats for grazing!

Join us to discover the opportunities and requirements of doing business with the government. We’ll help you determine if selling to the government is right for you, and teach you the basics of how to get started and be successful. 

On the second Thursday of every month, Norcal PTAC hosts a FREE introductory webinar for government contracting newbies. This webinar will give you a run-down of what you need to know and how you can prepare for success in the government marketplace. From “am I ready?” to submitting your first proposal, this webinar will set you on the path towards winning contracts with local, state, and federal agencies. 

In these webinars you will learn:

  • What is the PTAC Program?
  • What is government contracting?
  • How to determine if selling to the government is right for you
  • How to get started
  • Marketing to the government
  • Where to find bid opportunities
  • Steps for Success​
