Wyoming APEX Accelerator, part of the Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network housed at the University of Wyoming, is the state's expert in government contracting assistance.

Attendees will learn how to identify more government contracting opportunities they can win; how to interpret a solicitation correctly; and be confident they can meet their contract terms and conditions. Small-business owners will understand how to align and energize their proposal teams throughout the process and navigate the pitfalls to avoid from the first day.

The webinar is designed for proposal writers, managers, business owners and sales executives who are responsible for preparing proposals. The on-demand, four-hour training program includes all training materials, complete with an example of a proposal deconstruct.
