Joint CAS/AUAB Industry Day

We would like to extend an invitation to an upcoming Industry Day Event!

The purpose of this special notice is to announce the first Joint CAS/AUAB Industry Event in Doha, Qatar hosted by the 408th Regional Contracting Center at Camp As Sayliyah and the 379th Expeditionary Contracting Squadron at Al Udeid Air Base. The purpose of this event is to close the information gap by offering local businesses direct access to Buyers and their needs. By attending, sellers learn about programs, initiatives, challenges, and upcoming requirements that lead to opportunities for business. The networking opportunity these events provide can help sellers better navigate the federal procurement landscape and ultimately win more awards.

Our Industry Day Goals:
• Provide a professional space to facilitate interaction between members of Qatari Industry in Doha and the U.S. Government team
• Educate local vendor on requirements necessary to do business with the U.S. Government
