Meet the Purchasers is a unique opportunity for small and medium sized businesses to meet the purchasing managers and contract specialists for several large private businesses and government sector entities with a significant presence in the Jacksonville area.  

The program will open with each Purchaser giving a brief presentation about their company and the kinds of goods and services they are looking for.  Once you know what the Purchasers are looking for, you can best decide where to spend your time during the presentation rounds.

Patterned after the concept of speed dating each business will have a two minute window in front of the Purchaser(s) of your choice to explain what your business has to offer.   Bring brochures, business cards and anything else that will aid you in selling your business in a short period of time.

Be sure to bring extra business cards!  Not only is this a chance to market yourself and your products and/or services to our Purchasers but also to other businesses, who may be able to use your services or products.
