About this event
We're turning the tables! Vendors meet directly with area agencies and their procurement teams to learn how to navigate purchasing processes, understand compliance requirements, and explore upcoming opportunities within each agency. It’s a great chance to build relationships and grow your business across the greater Kansas City area and beyond. Member Agencies register for free here on the MOKAN website. Vendors register here and then follow the link below to submit payment to complete your registration.

What is a reverse vendor fair?
In a regular vendor fair, vendors set up booths and organizations (like schools, cities, counties, and utilities) walk around to meet them.
In a reverse vendor fair, it’s the organizations (the buyers) who set up booths. Vendors then walk around to meet the buyers.
This lets vendors connect directly with the people who make purchasing decisions, instead of hoping the right buyer stops at their booth in a traditional fair.
So instead of competing for attention among dozens of vendor booths, vendors get a chance to go booth-to-booth and pitch their products or services one-on-one to multiple potential customers all in one place.
Why it's valuable to Vendors?
? Meet multiple potential customers in one place.
? Talk directly with purchasing decision-makers, getting to put a face to the name and make those connections that make a lasting impression.
? Save time and effort compared to cold calls or individual appointments.
? Gain firsthand insight on how to do business with each agency.
? Learn about upcoming projects, bids, and partnership opportunities and where to find them.
? Understand the specific needs of each agency.
Each agency should register attendees under the appropriate category based on membership status and number of participants.
