Government agencies and prime contractors rely on capability statements to quickly understand a business’s strengths, experience, and capacity.

The purpose and structure of a capability statement
The key elements every government buyer expects to see
How to communicate your strengths, past performance, and differentiators
Common mistakes that keep small businesses from being considered
Tips for formatting, branding, and aligning your statement with agency needs

Whether you’re new to government contracting or ready to refine your existing document, this session will give you the tools to showcase your business professionally and stand out in a competitive procurement environment. Participants will leave with a clear outline—and the confidence to create a capability statement that gets attention.
