Wisconsin Association of Public Purchasers
Vendor Expo
- 2008
Ramada
Stevens Point, Wisconsin
Dear Potential Exhibitor:
Thank you for visiting this page. The Wisconsin Association of Public Purchasers (WAPP) will sponsor its 17th annual Vendor Exposition and Conference on September 18 - 19, 2008, at the Ramada (formerly County Springs Hotel) in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. This beautiful facility offers generous space for vendor booths as well as excellent rooms for meetings and breakout sessions. However, the number of vendors is limited by the available exposition area at the facility.
The Expo provides an opportunity for suppliers to exhibit their products and promote their services to Wisconsin government purchasing officials. WAPP has approximately 190 members state-wide. Wisconsin public purchasers use a conference and exposition of this type to obtain vital information about the products and services available to their government entities (state agencies, local government, public schools, universities and technical colleges).
The Exhibit Hall will open on Thursday afternoon, September 18. Vendor focused training and informational sessions are being scheduled for Thursday and Friday morning. Vendors are encouraged to participate in these additional conference activities in order to network with public purchasing officials. The Thursday and Friday morning sessions should be of interest to exhibitors and purchasing officials alike.
Our Conference and Expo provides a special combination of business and social activities. Click HERE to view the 2007 conference Agenda, which is typical for this event each year. The 2008 conference agenda will be available from this page as soon as possible.
This is the only conference and expo in the State of Wisconsin that is explicitly for Wisconsin public purchasing officials, including those from local government, state government and public educational institutions. So, plan early to participate in the 17th annual Vendor Exposition.
Vendors registering for the Expo are given a free listing (including a link to their website and contact information) on the WAPP website at www.wapp.org from the time their registration is accepted until at least August 1, of the following year.
