Tips for Marketing to the Government!
Lenora Leasure
PTAC Program Manager

Did you know "Meet the Buyer (MTB)" or "Matchmaking" events are great networking opportunities for both buyers and vendors?  Taking many formats, these events provide government agencies, prime contractors and small businesses a venue to meet, learn and forge relationships to provide products and services in support of government needs.  The events are held on a large scale, offering vendors one-on-one meetings with various buyers.  Occasionally, prime contractors looking to increase their subcontractor pool may opt to hold a "Spotlight Matchmaker", specific to their current needs.  The JARI PTAC hosts MTB events regularly, including the annual Government Procurement Expo, held during Showcase for Commerce.
 
Large and small businesses alike can benefit from learning more about Meet the Buyer/Matchmaker events.  Want to know more?  Contact the PTAC today at (814) 254-4022 or via email at jariptac@jari.com.
