The KAPPP Fall Conference & Reverse Vendor Fair, themed “Rounding Up Resources While Connecting Procurement Professionals and Partners,” is dedicated to uniting procurement professionals and vendor partners for an impactful exchange of knowledge, tools, and connections. This event serves as a central hub for sharing best practices, discovering new resources, and strengthening the public procurement community across Kansas and beyond.


What is a Reverse Vendor Fair?
A Reverse Vendor Fair flips the traditional fair concept - instead of vendors setting up booths, it's the government agencies who do. Vendors and suppliers walk through the event, meet with purchasing professionals, and learn firsthand about upcoming procurement opportunities, key contacts in their organization, and how to do business with participating organizations.

Why Participate as a Vendor?
Direct Access: Connect with purchasing professionals and end users from multiple agencies in one place.
Insightful Conversations: Learn what goods and services are needed and how to become an approved vendor.
Business Growth:  Discover opportunities to grow your business in the public sector.

Whether you're new to government contracting or looking to expand your reach, a Reverse Vendor Fair is a valuable networking and learning opportunity.
