Welcome to VETS2012

VETS2012 is designed by Veteran small business owners for Veteran small business owners. In order to be successful in the Federal marketplace, we need to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before. This is the foundation of the National Veteran Small Business Coalition (NVSBC) and AetherQuest Solutions Inc., a Veteran owned small business, in presenting VETS2012 in Reno, Nevada, June 11-14, 2012.

We will build on the success of VETS2011 to host an intimate forum of Government and industry leaders as well as Veteran small business owners to shorten the learning curve and bring the next generation of Veteran small business owners success in the Federal marketplace.

Doing business with the Federal government can be a frustrating and time consuming journey.  The topics, speakers, and activities have been designed and developed by Veterans who have struggled but found success. Attendance at VETS2012 will be limited to ensure the intimate atmosphere and ability to engage experts during sessions, after sessions and throughout the event. We learned from VETS2011 that bigger is not always better. Our goal is not to host the largest Veteran business conference, only the best!

Along with plenary sessions, there will be an Exhibit Hall to display your firm's capabilities as well as network with other participants. Additionally, one-on-one matchmaking will be offered to allow for concentrated discussions with potential clients. Another great benefit to VETS2012 is being with fellow Veterans in a very Veteran friendly city that asserts the same entertainment and hospitality as larger cities without the hassles.

Everyday our exhibitor and sponsor list grows and we want to touch on the topics/issues important to you. We welcome your suggestions, please send your ideas to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

SEE YOU IN RENO!!
