Calling all local vendors interested in collaborating with the government – mark your calendars. Gwinnett County is rolling out the welcome mat once again for its 17th annual Supplier Networking Event. If you're in the business of, well, business, this might just be the mingling event of your dreams—or at the very least, a solid spot to make some government contacts.
The shindig is set for April 24, bright and early at 8:30 a.m. at the Gas South Convention Center, as reported by Gwinnett County's official website. If you're looking to hobnob with the likes of county buyers and contracting officers from Gwinnett and its neighboring metropolitans, this is the place to be. And let's not procrastinate, as the event is giving you only a three-hour window to schmooze, wrapping things up at 11:30 a.m.
Organized by the Gwinnett County Purchasing Division, the agenda for the event includes an up-close preview of the County's shiny new vendor management system. The county's procurement staff will also be ready to play tutor, guiding potential suppliers through the ins and outs of their purchasing policies. This is a prime chance for businesses to get the low-down directly from the horse's mouth without the usual runaround.
But before you zoom off, note this: Parking Deck 1 on level P3 is your best bet for convenient access to the convention center. So, if you're planning to roll up in style, make sure to snag a spot there. For those in the business community eyeing a foot in the door with Gwinnett County, this supplier event seems to be the equivalent of a golden ticket.
