CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Business leaders interested in learning more about government contracting and what local and national vendors have to offer walk through the Business Opportunities Expo 2010 in Cruise Terminal 3 at Port Canaveral, Fla. The annual trade show is sponsored by NASA Kennedy Space Center's Prime Contractor Board, the 45th Space Wing and Canaveral Port Authority. It featured about 175 business and government exhibitors from across the nation and Brevard County. NASA's Central Industry Assistance Office provides support to small businesses that want to do business at Kennedy. This office works with the NASA Kennedy Prime Contractor Board, which consists of many of the center's prime contractors to help small businesses learn how to navigate in the world of government contracting. By co-sponsoring the expo, the board helps provide a one-stop shop for buyers and sellers. Photo credit: Kim Shiflett
