Federal Agency Information on Procurement Each year the federal government spends more than $3 billion on design and construction, offering architects countless contracting opportunities. The Federal Agency Connection at AIA Expo2008 is your key to that lucrative design marketplace. The Federal Agency Connection offers you two ways to get the inside scoop on entering the marketplace: schedule a one-on-one information session with key agency personnel or attend continuing education sessions with public- and private-sector experts on how to make the most of this contracting opportunity. Participating agencies include the U.S. General Services Administration, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and U.S. Postal Service. Don’t miss your chance to meet the key personnel who design and build for the federal government and attend CES-eligible classes right on the expo floor. See continuing education programs EX11–EX13, EX21–EX23, and EX31.
