The Matchmaking Event is a resource and networking opportunity for minority and women-owned businesses and local, state, and federal government buyers across Arkansas. This is a one-day event to help minority and women-owned businesses match with private and public sector buyers for contract opportunities. Registrants will have 15-minute, pre-arranged matchmaking appointments that would be otherwise difficult to schedule independently.

We are excited to announce that the event will be held on Thursday, May 18 at the Ron Robinson Theater, and the Rock It! Lab. This year’s event will be hosted by the MWOBE division of AEDC and co-hosted by the Arkansas District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Arkansas Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC).
