OverviewThe 6th Annual Supplier Growth Summit and MatchMaker is designed to specifically help the region’s suppliers meet with large buyers and prime contractors in Connecticut, and strengthen the local supply chain community and its ability to grow in a post-pandemic market.
The centerpiece of the Supplier Growth Summit is the Business MatchMaker. Both direct and indirect suppliers will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one (virtually) with buying organizations. The virtual format allows us to expand the number of meetings and accommodate everyone’s schedule. MatchMaker Meetings will take place over one and half days, with each lasting approx. 15 minutes.
Last year, we hosted over 160 supplier one-on-one meetings with buyers from the region’s largest corporations and buying groups. We also provide other useful knowledge sessions to help suppliers better understand the program’s available to help them grow. Additionally, through our twice a year Summits & MatchMaker sessions, we bring together members of leading buying organizations, state government and other support organizations to increase awareness of various programs that are designed to assist small and diverse suppliers.
Join us for our Keynote Session and Kickoff on December 7th from 9am – 11:30am.
Presentations will include:
Opening Remarks and Welcome
Keynote Presentation
Panel Discussion and Questions
Update on the State of Manufacturing in Connecticut
Virtual Networking Lounge & Trade Show Exhibitors
The Keynote and Kickoff Session will be followed by the opening of the Virtual Networking Lounge (your home base for the Summit) where you can chat with buyers, prime contractors and other Tier 2 suppliers to make new business connections and expand your sales and marketing efforts. You can also visit the Virtual Expo Hall where you can meet our co-host organizations during posted office hours to learn how they can support supplier development and growth.
MatchMaker Sessions – Meet One-on-One with Buyers
Again this year, we are being joined by buyers from some of the region’s leading manufacturers’ procurement groups, including:
The MatchMaker will start at 12:30 pm on December 7th and run through 5pm on December 8th. You will have the opportunity to request meetings with key buyers who then accept meetings as space permits on their schedule.
