ALBANY — Veterans from across New York state and beyond will gather in late November in Albany for a conference to help them return to the workforce or start their own businesses.
VETCON, short for Veterans in Economic Transition Conference, is set for Nov. 29-30 at the Crowne Plaza Desmond Hotel in the state’s capital city. VETCON is an annual conference “dedicated to the education and professional growth of veterans through networking with entrepreneurs, state agencies, and industry leaders,” per its website.
This year’s conference will include more than 100 Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB). They’ll include Clay–based Industry Standard USA, which was founded by Chris Dambach, a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Iraq.
“I am thrilled to return to VETCON to network and grow with veterans who are returning to the work force after serving in the military,” Dambach, who is also a VETCON Alliance board member, said.
Dambach’s company is a certified SDVOB & DBE (disadvantaged business enterprise) that focuses on general construction and demolition.
“Since attending my first VETCON that the Tully Rinckey Foundation and [New York State Office of General Services (OGS)] teamed up on, I have met many future Primes/Subs and Agencies that we quote work to and partner with,” Dambach said. “I have worked on the Maybrook Trail Railroad project other NYS projects and am gearing up for the I-81 project thanks to the NYS OGS SDVOB program.”
“Industry Standard USA is a continuation of the selfless service and dedication that so many veterans embody on a daily basis,” Anthony Kuhn, chairman of the VETCON Alliance, said. “That’s what VETCON is all about, showcasing the brave men and women who have served this country and helping them use the skills from their time in the service to grow professionally.”
This year’s conference will feature multiple award ceremonies to honor SDVOBs including the Veterans in Business Awards. These awards highlight multiple veteran owned businesses that have exhibited exemplary achievements in areas of patriotism, leadership, community service, business activity, and more.
In addition, the VETCON Business Plan Competition offers aspiring or recently formed veteran business owners a chance to pitch their plans to a panel of judge and compete for cash prizes.
