Buyers And Sellers Get Connected

This “Buyers and Sellers Get Connected” Conference is a unique opportunity for businesses that sell goods and services to connect with buyers that purchase goods and services.

The morning will be devoted to helping you better understand how to do business with Virginia. Learn about developing a stronger relationship with buyers; the SWaM program – Virginia’s set-aside program for small businesses, women-owned businesses, and minority- owned businesses; and the eVa system – Virginia’s electronic purchasing portal.

Lunch is on your own. Enjoy 1 of the 35 restaurants located within a 5 mile radius of the Conference Center!

 Upon returning in the afternoon, you will be given a packet that identifies which organizations (government or private sector) buy what you sell, allowing you to be more efficient as you walk through the exhibit hall. Buyers representing several state agencies / departments, surrounding counties, local cities and some private sector firms will be positioned at designated tables in the exhibit hall waiting for you to stop by to introduce your company.

Selling is about relationships. Take this opportunity to develop / strengthen relationships with current and potential clients!
