We are especially excited about this year’s Vendor Fair, as we are introducing several new workshop offerings designed to support vendors at every stage of business development and growth.

In addition to our core workshops focused on submitting bids and RFPs through Bonfire and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) certification, attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in sessions covering:

• Housing Initiatives
• Construction and Infrastructure Projects
• Insurance and Bonding
• Sustainability
• Skilled Labor
• Financial Readiness
• Finance through Grants and Micro-Loans

These workshops are designed not only to help vendors identify and pursue opportunities to do business with the City of Milwaukee, but also to provide practical tools, industry insights, and strategic resources that support long-term business growth, operational strength, and sustainability. Additional event details, workshop schedules, parking information, and updates will be shared via email, Eventbrite, and social media as the event approaches.
