The Ohio Business Matchmaker 2012 event is a unique opportunity for exhibitors, purchasing agents (buyers), trainers, and small business owners (suppliers of goods and services) to come together.

More than 1,300 small business owners who represent small, minority, service-disabled veteran-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, women-owned businesses, and approximately 250 purchasing representatives from city, state, county, and federal agencies will be participating this year. Prime contractors and other organizations with a combined purchasing budget representing hundreds of millions of dollars in opportunities will attend as well.

Interested small business owners or "suppliers" and buyers registering for the event will need to provide the appropriate NAICS codes in order to be properly matched. Identify your NAICS code(s) by performing a keyword search here.

Each 10 minute meeting will be scheduled and timed, during which suppliers and buyers will have the opportunity to discuss one another's specific projects and capabilities.

In addition to one-on-one matchmaking meetings, this event will offer exhibitors networking opportunities and workshops covering current topics vital to small business success such as Selling to the Government, Doing Business with Federal Government Prime Contractors, SBA Policy Updates, and Surety Bonding.

Reasonable arrangements for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance.
