CT Direct Supplier Summit

The 3rd Annual Direct Supplier Summit and MatchMaker is designed to specifically help the region’s direct suppliers (suppliers of goods and services used in a buyers’ final products) 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. Direct 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 125 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 June 6th from 9am – 11:45am.
