The Florida APEX Accelerator at the University of North Florida is hosting monthly roundtable discussions on topics related to government contracting. These no-cost, virtual and informal sessions are for business owners or those thinking about entering into the government contracting sector; federal, state or local. You will be able to ask questions about doing business with the government; each session will start with one or two specific topics, then we will open the floor to attendees to ask our Government Contracting Consultants their specific questions.

Topics of discussion for 2024 will include: 

• Are you ready for government contracting
