Government Market Master Continuing Professional Education Program (GMM)

Government Market Master Continuing Professional Education Program (GMM)
                               
The Government Market Master continuing professional education program (GMM) is a certificate program dedicated to providing the highest quality education for the government contracting community. The mission of GMM is to facilitate the educational and professional development of marketing and business development professionals in the government contracting community and provide a forum for online and offline networking.

The program consists of six 4-hour workshops focused on various aspects of GovCon marketing: marketing best practices, PR and media relations, market research, content marketing, building a thought leader/SME platform, and leveraging social media, especially LinkedIn.

After successfully completing six sessions, the attendee receives the Government Market Master Professional Certification. Annual re-certification is required but only requires attending one course- Government Marketing Best Practices. Those re-certifying get a 20% discount on the class.

All workshops are conducted by Mark Amtower, author of Government Marketing Best Practices (2005) and Selling to the Government (2011). He has written a monthly column for Washington Technology since 2009 and his radio show, Amtower Off Center  was the first broadcast media show to address the concerns of the government contracting community. Amtower is widely recognized as a leading expert of marketing to the government.

GMM workshops are held at the Maryland Center for Entrepreneurship, 9250 Bendix Road, Columbia, Maryland, 21045. In October of 2015, we will start offering a sessions per month allowing prospective candidates to finish all six workshops in three months.

There are only 16 seats available for each workshop, so reserve your seat today.

Each session is available as an in-house session.
