Have You Ever Heard of a Reverse Trade Show?

Nearly 30 Central Florida area government agencies set up booths at Rachel D. Murrah Civic Center on November 7 for the Central Florida Chapter of National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) 14th Annual Reverse Trade Show. Titled “Upgrade Your Connections”, the event is a unique opportunity for local businesses to meet and connect with City of Orlando purchasing professionals and other regional governmental agencies throughout Central Florida.

We sent Appleton’s own Amy Wise, VP of Marketing and Client Relations, to meet with these interesting agency buyers and administrators and to gain further insight on how they conduct business. This year’s event had public purchasing representatives from municipalities, county governments, authorities, law enforcement, utilities, and clerk of courts.

The Central Florida Chapter of NIGP works to promote and support the professional development of its diverse membership and strives to maintain the highest standard of ethics, integrity, public trust and awareness in the public procurement profession.
