Sponsor Meet the Buyer North

The Supplier Development Programme will be organising the 4th annual Meet the Buyer North in September 2021. We hope to attract more than 600 attendees.

Meet the Buyer North 2021 will see exhibitors from the public sector, private contractors and business support providers. Focusing on public sector Buyers in the North of Scotland, as well as key Tier 1 contractors, this free event offers businesses a unique opportunity to meet buyers and decision makers from across the Public and Private sector, with the opportunity to raise your profile as a business and prepare for upcoming contract opportunities.

Unlike most exhibition events, the essence of exhibitions is to "meet the buyer" to promote your business's goods, services and works in a unique "reverse expo" set up on the day - i.e. the buyer hosts an exhibition space, and your business makes your way around to meet them face-to-face to introduce yourself and discuss upcoming opportunities.

If you are not a public sector buyer or a Tier 1 contractor, and you want to take an exhibition at Meet the Buyer to raise your business's profile to buyers and suppliers in attendance, please note that you are advised to attend - for free - to "meet the buyer" on the day. Please register for free and follow SDP's easy steps to prepare for Meet the Buyer.

Exhibition space for non-buyers is only available as part of a paid sponsorship package, at the discretion of SDP.

Private training companies are welcome to take paid advertising space, if available, in the printed Meet the Buyer North 2021 programme, but are not eligible to sponsor or exhibit at Meet the Buyer. Please email info@sdpscotland.co.uk to learn more.Your organisation is welcome to choose any of the following sponsorship packages, including multiple options if desired. The Supplier Development Programme will work with you to tailor your sponsorship package to deliver ultimate value.
