2024 Annual Reverse Vendor Tradeshow


It's a tradeshow where vendors come to meet public procurement professionals, instead of the other way around!


Do you want to better understand how to do business with the public sector?

The 5th Annual Reverse Vendor Tradeshow is an opportunity for vendors to introduce themselves to a variety of procurement and purchasing professionals from Ontario-based public agencies, including municipalities, school boards, colleges/universities and other publicly-funded organizations. 

OPBA’s Reverse Tradeshow is a fantastic way for you and your company to maximize your marketing resources. All participating agencies will have a booth where you can take the opportunity to connect and promote your product or service. There’s no better way to network in-person with so many public procurement representatives in one room! 

The list of public agencies participating is below and growing every week.


New in 2024! This year we are hosting information sessions for attendees on industry-focused topics, providing valuable insights and enhancing your knowledge of the public procurement landscape. More information to follow.
