Welcome!

The San Diego Chapter of NDIA (National Defense Industrial Association) and Navy Co-Hosts NAVSEA Port Hueneme and the Office of Small Business Programs are proud to present the 20^th Annual Navy Gold Coast Small Business Opportunity Conference, also simply known as the "Gold Coast" conference. Since it’s inception over 20 years ago, Gold Coast is co-hosted on a rotating basis by NAVSEA, NAVFAC, SPAWAR, NAVSUP, NAVAIR, and the US Marine Corps.

The purpose of Gold Coast is to provide a forum to educate, guide, and assist businesses, especially small businesses, in working with the government, primarily the Department of Defense. Attendance is not restricted to those who do business directly with the government, but open to all relevant businesses.

NDIA and NAVSEA Port Hueneme have once again collaborated to bring interesting and motivating speakers that will present topics of interest with regards to working with the government. Plan on attending informative and relevant general/plenary and break-out sessions. Visit over 250 industry and government exhibitors along with dozens of posters containing company information and opportunities. As with any of these events, there are also plenty of opportunities for networking.

Though this is labeled as a "small business opportunity conference," large business participation is always welcome and encouraged. In fact, large businesses have actively participated over the years, both as exhibitors and through our sponsorship programs.
