SUMMARY:Marketplace 2020 - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Buyer Meetings – Marketplace registrants will have the opportunity to request meetings and discuss opportunities with Federal\, State\, Local\, and Corporate Buyers.

For the first time in its 39 years\, the conference is taking place in a virtual format\, and as usual will connect business owners from across Wisconsin seeking to do business with state\, federal and local governments as well as private sector partners. At the conference\, minority\, woman\, veteran\, small and LGBTQ-owned businesses can learn from and connect with resource providers\, government representatives\, corporate buyers and business professionals to lay the framework to develop new partnerships and new contracts. \nThe conference serves businesses of all sizes\, with a special focus on helping small business get connected with resources and knowledge.
