The APEX Accelerator staff were incredibly professional and welcoming everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A must-attend for any small business in government contracting!

The networking quality and the diversity of attendees made this a strategic platform for expanding our reach in the defense and government contracting sectors.

Attending the Alliance Northwest Conference at the Greater Tacoma Dome was an exceptional experience. As the owner of BePrepared2Treat, LLC, I found this conference one of the best organized, engaging, and valuable events for small businesses. A standout feature was the Swapcard platform, which utilized QR codes to make networking seamless. This allowed me to recall vendor names and contact details easily.

Alliance Northwest was an incredibly impactful event for our small business looking to crack into state contracting. Despite being software and IT providers, not the largest segment there, and we left with answers and contacts. Cannot recommend enough, thanks to the team.

The ability to meet one-on-one was my favorite part of the event- it was speed dating for business! Everyone I met was so nice and invested in helping me learn how to navigate their systems.

You will ALWAYS leave with something when attending this event. Whether it some swags from the booth, a new friend, or a potential opportunity.
