Procurement Hall and Matchmaker Lounge

Are you a woman-owned business looking to obtain contracts with major corporations and government agencies?  

Are you a corporate or government agency buyer looking for women-owned businesses that can become contractors or subcontractors for some of your work?  

Make business connections that count!

The Go for the Greens Procurement Hall is a place where buyers (procurement specialists from major corporations, government agencies and contractors) can connect with sellers (representatives from women-owned businesses) during informal roundtable sessions.

In the Matchmaker Lounge, buyers and sellers connect for one-on-one “matchmaking” appointments.

Interested in participating? Here are some tools that might help you:

• Invitation letter to decision-makers from major corporations and government agencies.
• Procurement Hall factsheet.
• Procurement Hall Matchmaker Request Form
• Procurement Hall tips for women-owned businesses.

Peer-to-Peer Business Development

Remember, one of the benefits of attending this kind of event is the people you meet! You never know whether the women business owners sitting next to you are possible business contacts for your company ... until you meet them. Learn about each other in the special Peer-to-Peer Corner in the Procurement Hall and throughout the day. Bring your business cards ... and keep your eyes and ears open!
