NASPO - How to Market to State Governments

The conference exists to build relationships among the supplier community and state governments, the largest consumers of goods and services in the country.  The meeting shall be a place where partnering, networking and learning come together to develop business relationships to support public procurements that are effective, efficient, transparent and fair.

Register for the 2016 meeting to participate in a refreshed approach to building relationships with state government procurement professionals.  The 2016 off-site reception on Sunday night is now open to ALL supplier participants, creating another opportunity to connect informally with state members.  One-on-One sessions will remain, but they’ll be offered in shorter “bursts” to ensure all participants are at their best.  The interactive roundtables will be conducted in various formats so you can meet not only with states in a particular region, but states looking to contract for specific goods, commodities, services and resources.  Service projects and other informal networking opportunities are included on each day of the conference.  Finally, the program has been expanded to include more dedicated sessions for suppliers experienced with state government as well as those new to state procurement.  

One On Ones

One of the most important features of NASPO's How to Market to State Governments Meeting is the opportunity for state procurement representatives and suppliers to partner in pre-scheduled One-on-One appointments. It's through these partnerships that new ideas, products and opportunities come together.

One-on-One appointment scheduling opens in mid to late February/early March in order for state representatives to have time to register for the meeting. You will receive an email closer to this time notifying you of the date and time the One-on-One schedule will open so that you can login to make your appointments. You will use the same login credentials for scheduling as you did for conference registration.
