The Federal, Provincial, and Municipal Governments have partnered to provide Selling to Government Seminars focusing on doing business with all three levels of government. This includes how each government makes purchasing decisions, and a brief overview of the various policies, regulations and trade agreements which determine how governments go about acquiring the goods, services and construction they require. The seminar also covers how to access bidding opportunities through government electronic tendering systems. The majority of seminars are held in Calgary and Edmonton.
