The
Maryland Department of Social and Economic Mobility (DoSEM), the
nation’s first cabinet- level agency dedicated to advancing social and
economic mobility, will host its next Ready, Set, GROW! Procurement
Connections Workshop on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at MGM National Harbor
in Oxon Hill. The free, in-person workshop is designed to help small,
minority, women, and veteran-owned businesses from across Maryland
access government contracting opportunities through networking with
agencies and procurement officers responsible for billions of dollars in
annual state contracting activity. This workshop is part of DoSEM’s
broader mission to build an inclusive economic mobility ecosystem that
expands access to opportunity, removes barriers to growth, and helps
entrepreneurs and small businesses achieve long-term economic stability.
Hosted
in the Central Maryland region, the June workshop is expected to draw
entrepreneurs and business leaders from Prince George’s, Montgomery,
Anne Arundel, and Howard counties, with participation welcome across
the state. Participants will meet directly with state procurement
officers, learn how Maryland’s Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Small
Business Reserve (SBR), and Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise
(VSBE) programs position businesses for growth. They will also gain
practical strategies for identifying upcoming opportunities through
public data sources.
Are you looking for a new opportunity to do business with your state and local government?
Who should attend?
Small
business owners, including firms owned and operated by minorities,
women, and veterans that are interested in doing business in the state
& local contracting arena as a prime contractor or subcontractor in
