This webinar will help you learn to dissect the FAR and other procurement regulations. You’ll learn how to identify which rules apply to you\, which rules you can safely ignore\, and how to more quickly find what you need in the vast federal regulatory landscape. \nHere’s a snapshot of our webinar agenda: \n\nHow to navigate the Federal Acquisition Regulation\, including a FAR roadmap and breakdown to make it easier to find what you need\nHow to access and navigate other federal contracting regulations\, such as the DFARS\, VAAR\, and SBA regulations\nHow to identify which of the many federal contracting regulations apply to your business–and which you can ignore\nHow to identify the state and local contracting rules that apply to your business\, and where to go for assistance to better understand these rules\n\nTarget Audience: Small business owners/officers/contracting personnel\, large business contracting personnel\, APEX Accelerator counselors
