- 9:00 AM3hGovernment Contracting: OverviewFederal, state and local government procurement is the largest target market in the world.The question is usually not "Does the government buy what you are selling?" It is more, "Can you be competitive enough and relentless enough to position your business to win government contracts?" If you think you can be competitive, then government contracting may be a good growth opportunity for your business.The Government Contracting Overview seminar, presented by the APEX Accelerators at UCF in partnership with the Florida SBDC at UCF, is designed for established small business owners with some commercial momentum that are curious about government contracting, as well as business owners that may already be involved in government contracting. This workshop will present government contracting in three components: positioning for government contracting, developing reactive business development strategies and developing proactive business development strategies. Specifically, we will discuss registration requirements, social-economic certification opportunities, market research tools, Florida PTAC's "Bid-Match" system and what we refer to as the initial "marketing tool kit" for government contractors.Join us for this great learning opportunity!Virtual Location URL: https://events.blackthorn.io/en/6g3Q8Wa7/government-contracting-overview-5a1e6g4Tumq/overview Registration Link: https://events.blackthorn.io/en/6g3Q8Wa7/government-contracting-overview-5a1e6g4Trwr/overview

- 10:00 AM7hMemento Morididdle Exhibition by Charles ClaryMemento Morididdle Exhibition by Charles ClaryExhibition Dates: September 12, 2024 - October 11, 2024Charles Clary's Memento Morididdle installations take the form of Victorian or Rococo salon style walls, densely compacted with hundreds of frames, with each frame containing a paper sculpture. This maximalist approach to his installation practice achieves the desired outcome of overwhelming the viewer with an inundation of information. But unlike historic sitting rooms, he collects his traumas, abuses, transgressions and grief for exhibition. These memories are on display for all to see -- no hiding, no masking, just raw truths. Not only are they my traumas, but they are often those of the viewers as well. Collectively we hurt, we grieve and we lament the darkest moments in our lives. Instead of hiding behind walls, we can wear them as badges of honor and growth.Join us for the following:Opening Reception at UCF Art Gallery Thursday, Sept. 12, from 5-7 p.m. - [Register Here](https://www.ticketsource.us/ucf-art-gallery/opening-reception-memento-morididdle/2024-09-12/17:00/t-gagnldq) Closing Reception & Artist Talk at UCF Art Gallery Friday, Oct. 11, from 5-7 p.m. - [Register Here](https://www.ticketsource.us/ucf-art-gallery/closing-reception-artist-talk-memento-morididdle/2024-10-11/17:00/t-xmxpdjz)Parking: Free parking is available in Garage F next to the Addition Financial Arena.
