2021 Supplier Growth Summit and Matchmaker


A FREE Virtual Summit for Connecticut Suppliers Featuring a MatchMaker, Networking and Training with Some of the Region’s Largest Buyers

The 2021 Supplier Growth Summit is designed to help Connecticut suppliers meet with key buyers to ramp up their business development in a post-pandemic market.

The centerpiece of the Supplier Growth Summit will be the virtual Business MatchMaker. Suppliers will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with buying organizations. The virtual format allows us to expand the number of meetings and accommodate everyone’s schedule. MatchMaker meetings will take place over one and half days. 

The 5th Annual Supplier Growth Summit is a free event funded by the Connecticut Department of Economic & Community Development and sponsored by Synchrony.
