Businesses Invited to Wyoming Supplier Fair Oct. 15 at UW

Companies interested in doing business with the University of Wyoming from across the state are invited to UW’s first-ever Wyoming Supplier Fair Tuesday, Oct. 15.

The event is part of UW’s BUY-WY initiative, which formalizes the university’s commitment to support Wyoming’s economy by encouraging university employees to purchase from Wyoming suppliers.

The Supplier Fair will run from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the university’s Wyoming Union Ballroom. Participants will have the opportunity to share information about their businesses; strengthen existing relationships; reconnect with past customers; network with others; and learn more about UW’s procurement processes.

While the event is free, registration is required and may be accomplished at www.uwyo.edu/buy-wy/supplier_fair/index.html. The registration deadline is Sept. 30.

“We all are committed to improving the quality of life of Wyomingites and strengthening the economic vitality of our state,” UW Acting President Neil Theobald says. “I have challenged our university community to find ways in which it can expand the involvement of Wyoming suppliers in its purchasing activities, and the Supplier Fair is an important part of that effort.”
