On March 6 and 7, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena, Calif., will host the 14th Annual High-Tech
Conference for Small Business at the Westin Los Angeles
Airport Hotel.
The two-day conference will focus on subcontracting and
marketing opportunities for small, minority, women-owned and
veteran-owned businesses in high-tech industries. It includes
several “how-to” workshops featuring information on major
programs, small business initiatives and other topics of
interest.
Eugene Tattini, deputy director of JPL, will be the
keynote speaker on March 6. Two networking receptions will
provide additional opportunities to meet key people. One-on-
one counseling opportunities to discuss potential business
opportunities are available with more than 200 exhibitors
including prime contractors, government agencies, educational
institutions. There is no fee to exhibit. Due to space
limitations, exhibitors are limited to prime contractors and
government agencies. Contact Margo Kuhn at (818) 354-5722 for
