Wisconsin Association of Public Purchasers
Vendor Expo
Dear Potential Exhibitor:
Thank you for visiting this page. The Wisconsin Association of Public Purchasers (WAPP) will sponsor its 18th annual Vendor Exposition and Conference on September 24 - 25, 2009, 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.
The Expo provides an opportunity for suppliers to exhibit their products and promote their services to Wisconsin government purchasing officials. WAPP has nearly 200 members state-wide. Wisconsin public purchasers use this conference and exposition 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 24. Vendor focused training and informational sessions are 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 Conference and Expo provides a special combination of business and networking activities. Click HERE to view the preliminary 2009 conference Agenda. The 2009 conference agenda will be updated as necessary.
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 18th annual Vendor Exposition.
Vendors registering for the Expo are given a free listing (including a link to their website and contact information) on the Members page at the WAPP website at www.wapp.org from the time their registration is accepted until at least August 1, of the following year. If you would like to see the listings from last year's (2008) Expo, click HERE. To view the list of vendors already onboard for this year, click HERE
