Event description

Attention Vendors, Suppliers, and Contractors:

IF YOU SELL TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, OR IF YOU WANT TO, THIS IS A MUST-ATTEND EVENT!

This is a once in a year opportunity to meet face-to-face with public procurement professionals from all throughout Idaho and other nearby areas, all in one place at one time!

The Reverse Vendor Trade Show is a unique event that encourages vendors to meet and talk directly to public procurement officials - they staff the booths and you move from booth to booth making new contacts or building upon current ones by showcasing your products and services.  In return, the public procurement representatives provide valuable information about how to do business with their agencies.

Best of all, you won't have a booth to set up or materials to load and unload.  Just bring lots of business cards and brochures to distribute! 

Why should you attend?

  • Introduce your business to procurement representatives from federal, state, and local  government agencies. You will also have the chance to learn about their procurement needs, such as materials, equipment, and professional services and what it takes to do business with them.
  • Connect with other participants to build relationships and potential business partners.
  • Stay for a buffet lunch to make additional connections and gain insights from IPPA about the industry trends and business opportunities, as well as hear from an amazing keynote speaker - more details to come! 
  • As always, we will have additional valuable educational break-out session opportunities this year for both government professionals and vendors alike.  More details to come soon!

We are so excited for our 13th Annual Reverse Trade Show during our 20th anniversary year, which is scheduled for November 6, 2024 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Jack's Urban Meeting Place (JUMP! Boise)! We hope to see you there. Registration and sponsorship information is below:
