Business on the Base

The next chapter in our defence procurement programming has just landed on our event calendar!

Join the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce on October 14 for Business on the Base, where businesses will hear directly from federal procurement experts about how to land federal contracts.

Over the summer, the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce held its inaugural Defence Procurement Summit, where we convened members of the Canadian Armed forces and the Department of National Defence to teach businesses how Canada’s procurement system works for federal contracts.

You'll learn:

✅ How DND buys, explained in plain language
✅ How to become a vendor and engage with Public Services and Procurement Canada
✅ Solicitation and bidding guidelines
✅ How DND and the CAF approach property acquisitions

The day also includes a keynote from Lieutenant-Colonel J.P. Southen, a procurement panel with live Q&A, a networking lunch, and a guided tour of the base.

New to federal procurement or joining us again after the summit? This is your chance to sharpen your knowledge and grow your network.
