This is a semi-official announcement that Apogee Consulting, Inc. – your humble correspondent and blog writer – will be hosting a booth at the upcoming Navy’s San Diego Gold Coast conference, an annual conference aimed at small businesses.

Hosted by the Navy and the San Diego chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), “Gold Coast provides a forum to educate, guide, and assist businesses, especially small businesses, in working with the government, primarily the Department of Defense.”

Allegedly. We’ve never attended before, so we’re not sure what to expect.

The Conference will be held August 23rd and 24th, at the San Diego Convention Center. (We expect most of the trash from the San Diego Comic Con will have been cleaned up by then.)

In keeping with the Conference’s theme of educating, guiding, and assisting businesses, Apogee Consulting, Inc. will be hanging around, looking to engage in discussions regarding government contracting and cost accounting and other related administrative issues.

Yes, that’s right. We are going to be offering free advice.

Okay. It will not be free. We lied about that. The advice will cost 5 cents.

But we will have nickels on hand to cover those who no longer carry cash.

So it will be kinda free.

We guarantee that the advice will be worth every penny and/or nickel paid!

If you should find yourself in the area, please come visit us at booth #217.
