Regrettably, due to the continuing federal government shutdown, the JSC Small Business Council has rescheduled our November 3 Fall Conference to January 26, 2026.
While we developed contingency plans for a conference without NASA civil servant participation, we came to the consensus that, at this point, even if the shutdown ends before the original conference date, civil servant participants would not then be able to adequately prepare in the reduced time remaining. And moreover, a conference held during a shutdown, and without up-to-date info from Procurement, OSBP and SBA, wouldn’t be as valuable to our JSC small business community.
For companies which have paid for registration, you may request a full refund of your registration, or have us simply maintain the registration for January 26. The January 26 conference would again be held at the Lone Star Flight Museum. We’ll keep you posted as to developments.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and trust you understand the decision we made to reschedule the event. We look forward to bringing together small businesses, prime contractors, and NASA leadership for an engaging matchmaking event in January!
