“Overall feedback from the presentation was positive,” Doedtman wrote, “with great questions and discussions arising from the program.”

“The expo was just terrific,” Maes wrote. “The speakers and entrepreneurs were inspiring and the breakout sessions were very substantive and informative. I really thank the good Senator for putting this expo together and for the invitation to join.”

“GSA attendees are looking forward to working with many new potential contractors met at this event,” Doedtman wrote.
