2026 Small Business Symposium & Meet the Chiefs

The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Northwest Posts — Seattle, Portland, and Mount Tacoma — are proud to host the combined 2026 Small Business Symposium (SBS) and Meet the Chiefs.

With SAME’s Joint Engineer Training Conference (JETC) taking place in Portland this May, we’ve merged these two highly successful events into one high-value, two-day experience designed to maximize your time, connections, and return on investment.

This is the premier Pacific Northwest focused event for small businesses, large firms, and government agencies working in planning, design, construction, and professional services.

Why Attend?

•  Two events in one — Small Business Symposium + Meet the Chiefs 
•  Direct access to federal, military, and regional agencies
•  Structured Government-to-Business and Business-to-Business matchmaking
•  Actionable insights into upcoming programs and procurement priorities

Whether you are a small business seeking opportunities, a prime contractor building teams, or a government agency engaging industry, this event is designed for meaningful connections — not just name badges.
