Small and midsized businesses interested in working with local governments can meet with about 20 municipalities plus many tradeshow vendors in one stop at the East Tennessee Purchasing Association’s 13th Annual Business Matching and Tradeshow event on Wednesday, June 6.
The event will be held in Chattanooga at Stratton Hall, 3146 Broad St., from 9 a.m.-noon.
Attendees will be able to connect with cities, counties and other agencies to get information about their processes and available contracts. In addition to the tradeshow, a lunch session with governmental procurement agents is available and starts at noon.
“This is a unique networking and relationship-building opportunity,” ETPA President Terry McKee said. “Small businesses are able to meet many potential government and corporate customers in one stop instead of traveling all over East Tennessee.”
Registration is free for attendees. Meals, tradeshow booths and sponsorship opportunities are available. To register, visit http://www.etpanews.org.
