A: We expect 250-300 trade and business visitors from most targeted industries. Visitors will be coming from all over the Commonwealth and the Mid Atlantic area.
Q: How will suppliers be matchmade with the buyers ?
A: Suppliers and buyers will be "matchmade" by a team of procurement experts from the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC).
We will use a website dedicated to survey suppliers ' interests in terms of which company(ies) they would like to meet one-on-one. Suppliers can make as many companies as they wish as long as there are available time slots.
Q: What kind of lunch will be offered?
A: It will be an informal lunch box with an exciting business education program. Vegetarian lunch boxes are available upon request.
