Starting and owning a business is challenging. As part of National Veterans Small Business Week, the local Veteran Business (VetBiz) community will come together to help entrepreneurial veterans achieve success. Attend the Alaska Veteran Business Forum to meet the agencies that make up your VetBiz community and discover how each of them can help your business start, grow, expand and recover. The morning speakers will focus on business development resources available to veterans from local lenders, business advisers, and online platforms like Google. The afternoon speakers will focus on government contracting and highlight the opportunities available to veterans interested in doing business with federal, state and local governments.
