Port of San Diego to Host 2nd Annual Workshop Series – How to Do Business with the Port

As a port of communities and an economic engine in the region, the Port of San Diego is launching its second annual workshop series, How to do Business with the Port. The workshops are geared at helping reduce barriers for local businesses looking for Port business opportunities and ensure local businesses are aware of the types of opportunities available. The Port works with companies and vendors in a wide range of industries and specialties including construction (various trades), professional services (event production), and many more.

Starting on October 9, 2023, the Port will begin its first in a series of three workshops aimed at helping local businesses navigate through the process of becoming a vendor for government agencies like the Port, how to write proposals, and meeting Port project managers.
