YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Government Contracting Summit

Two days. One real proposal in hand.
The GovConNOW SUMMIT takes you from finding State, Local, and Education bids to walking out with an actual proposal draft.

Taught by contractors who actually win.
This is not a lecture. It is a hands on working session led by active contractors with real wins at Fulton County, Kennesaw State University, MARTA, and more!

Walk away with tools, not just notes.
A proposal template, AI prompt library, compliance checklist, and your own draft started.

Your seat pays for itself with one win.
No experience required. Seats are capped. A single SLED win can be worth more than a year of training. If you are serious about government contracts, this is the room to be in.

Clayton State University, Launch CSU Innovation Center, Morrow, GA

Clayton State University did not want another traditional entrepreneurship program. They wanted a transformational experience. So they brought us in to build it.

We created the Launch CSU curriculum from the ground up. We mapped the participant journey, developed the content, and built a framework the university can run again and again. We staffed it with the right instructors and a support team. We managed the program day to day so the university could stay focused on strategy. And we ran the outreach and promotion that filled the room.

Together we welcomed 40 entrepreneurs into the inaugural cohort. Participants praised the professionalism and the organization. The systems we put in place created an environment where entrepreneurs felt empowered to keep moving their businesses forward.

"GovConNOW is far more than a service provider. They are a true strategic partner. They take the time to understand your mission, your audience, and your goals, then work alongside you to bring that vision to life. For institutions building entrepreneurship, workforce development, or small business support programs, GovConNOW brings the expertise, creativity, and operational capacity to accelerate success. LaunchCSU is stronger because of this partnership." -
