The 2022 Direct Supplier Summit is designed to specifically help the region’s direct 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 Direct Supplier Summit is the Business MatchMaker. 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.
There will also be a Virtual Exhibit Hall where suppliers can schedule meetings with our co-host organizations to learn more about how these great partners can help suppliers grow their business.
Follow along with us on social media #CTSupplierSummit
2022 Direct Supplier Summit is a FREE event funded by the Connecticut Department of Economic & Community Development.
