Vendor Exchange Forum 2026


The Business & Enterprise Systems (BES) Small Business Office (SBO) is hosting its 4th Annual BES Vendor Exchange Forum (VEF) on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. This year’s hybrid event will offer both in-person attendance at the BES Auditorium on Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex, AL, and virtual participation via Microsoft Live.

This event provides Industry partners with an opportunity to engage with BES leadership and program offices, gain insight into mission priorities and challenges, and awareness of innovative initiatives across the Directorate. Selected vendors will have an opportunity to present their company’s unique capabilities and engage with Government personnel in individual settings.
