About the Event:

NAWBO-LA’s 3rd Annual Procurement and Matchmaking Event is designed to help small businesses begin or expand their business with government agencies. Meet buyers, understand buying requirements, learn how to get into the buying system, and take advantage of a great opportunity to introduce your company, your products and/or services, and get exposure.

As most in-person events were canceled in 2020, now is the time to reconnect and expand opportunities. 

In addition to matchmaking the conference features:

• A panel discussion on Diversity & Inclusion in the Procurement Space
• Break out sessions on WBE and MBE certifications
• A workshop on Creating Effective Capability Statements
• Networking Opportunities 
• One-on-one Matchmaking sessions 
• Expo Hall featuring representation from a wide variety of firms and sectors looking for SBE, DBE, WBE, and DVBE businesses

Matchmaking Sessions:

In order to participate in One-on-One Matchmaking, each individual must first register for the conference by completing the Attendee Registration. During the registration process, you will be asked if you would like to be a part of matchmaking by selecting "Buyer," "Supplier," or "Non-Participant."

There will be (2) two matchmaking sessions during the course of this event. These sessions are critically important as it will be the first opportunity small businesses will have to introduce themselves to prime contractors. Each session will be 10 minutes of one-on-one time. 

Matchmaking Session I ( 5 Sessions) : 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Matchmaking Session II (6 Sessions) : 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
