Acquisition Hour: Preparing to Meet with a Government Buyer – The Elevator Pitch
2021-11-16 13:00 - 14:00
Opportunities are coming up for small businesses to meet with Government Agencies and their Prime Contractors. To take full advantage of these opportunities, you must do your homework and be prepared. In preparation, a business must have done their market research on the buyer / prime, determine the value or solution that their business can provide to the buyer / prime, have prepared a capabilities statement, and have prepared an ELEVATOR PITCH.
In this session we will focus on the ELEVATOR PITCH. An elevator pitch is a short presentation that explains your business in less than a minute. This type of pitch is designed as a quick introduction to your business explaining who you are, what you do and how your business stands out among other contractors.
Join Kim Garber and Mark Dennis from WPI for a discussion on how to prepare a GREAT PITCH. If you are Marketplace Wisconsin and would like assistance in preparing for meetings at this event, contact Kim Garber at kimg@wispro.org.

Cyber Friday: Understanding Zero Trust
2021-10-29 11:00 - 12:00
Who is logged into your network or using a company resource? You can tell which User IDs and Passwords are being used but who – which person – is using them? Is it the assigned user, a colleague who borrowed the credentials, a team member of a shared account, or did someone obtain the credentials illicitly. There is only one correct answer – “the assigned user.” This webinar will explore the ideas behind a Zero Trust Security paradigm and how these principles can assist companies to better protect their assets by not just providing access to information based upon the entry of a User ID and password, but by instituting a paradigm that requires validation to ensure that only the authorized user of those credentials is using them.
Speaker: Marc Violante, Wisconsin Procurement Institute

This webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.
