Connecting Businesses to Corporate Procurement Officers
The Supplier Network (SN) is an educational and networking series that prepares small to mid-size businesses (vendor companies) to pursue bids from large companies and government agencies (supporting companies) and build relationships with regional procurement officers.
Learn coveted procurement strategies, network with top purchasing officers and market your company to the Greater Philadelphia region. More than 200 vendor companies from an array of industries have been trained and designated as SN members since 2005, providing them with unique access to dozens of supporting corporations.
Businesses owned by women, minorities and veterans are among the most sought-after by supporting corporations interested in reaching their supplier diversity goals.
