Last year’s Reverse Trade Show featured booths representing 20+ government agencies (Cities, Counties, Utilities, Special Districts, School Boards, Law Enforcement, Colleges, and Universities) from Bay County to Escambia County. In addition, representatives from the major military bases in our area normally participate. This is an opportunity for you to network with most of the government agencies in Northwest Florida in one location and one event in a business casual environment. Not only will you market your firm’s products and services to all at one location, you’ll be able to meet the decision makers, ensure your inclusion in their vendor files, learn about their needs, and capture information about upcoming opportunities. The cost to attend this one stop marketing event is $150.00, with an incremental increase of $25.00 for each additional attendee. Funds received are allocated to pay for the event and education needs for Chapter members. Back this year is our RTS reception so mark your calendars for Thursday evening, May 3rd! The cost to attend is included in your registration fee and we will have more details to follow on our website (www.cgccnigp.org). In addition to registering to participate in the activities, you also have an opportunity to become an Event Sponsor! Sponsorship is a great way for your company to be recognized for helping our Chapter provide the continuing education needs or scholarships towards certification for Northwest Florida’s public purchasing professionals.
