Procurement Expo 2008

We are pleased to invite you to join us on Thursday, June 19, 2008 for the 17th Annual Procurement Expo. Co-sponsored by the NJ Small Business Development Centers and the NJCU Small Business Development Center this exciting annual conference is hosted by the NJ City University. The Expo will open at 8 A.M. and close at 3 P.M.

Keeping in mind the ever-changing economy and its challenges to small business growth; this year’s theme – Meet Your Match will focus on the basic purpose of a procurement expo – bringing together buyers and suppliers. Be sure to avail yourselves of the Expo Hall, informative workshops and panel discussions; individual matchmaking sessions; and industry roundtable sessions. Find out how to access the many contracting opportunities in the tri-state area; network with procurement experts from a variety of corporations, state, federal, county and municipal government; and get up to date information on current procurement practices and requirements.

Last year’s successful Expo brought in participants from as far south as Florida and as far north as Connecticut and the buzz was heard for many months. Don’t miss this opportunity to Meet Your Match, we are confident that this year’s lineup has something for every B2B small business owner. Be sure to save this date June 19, 2008 on your calendar and register early to take advantage of the savings.
