10th Annual University System of Georgia Procurement Expo Sept. 20th-21st

Staff Report From Metro Atlanta CEO

Friday, September 16th, 2016

This year as we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the USG Procurement Expo in collaboration with The Georgia Black Constructors Association’s “Construction and Business Expo,” we will salute the Georgia Film Academy and film industry in the State of Georgia. The 10th Annual USG Procurement Expo, hosted by Atlanta Metropolitan State College, features exhibits from University System institutions and provides information on business opportunities with the institutions of the University System of Georgia, federal, state, and local government agencies, and prime construction management firms. The event targets small, minority, and women-owned businesses; however, all businesses are welcome! This is your chance to learn how to do business with the University System of Georgia and gain contacts to make that happen. A luncheon program follows sessions on doing business with the procurement, facilities, and information technology departments of the University System of Georgia institutions.

The two-day event begins with our 10th Anniversary Celebration Gala on Tuesday, September 20, 2016. The event will honor USG College and University Purchasing Officers and serve to establish a scholarship fund for Host Institution students.
