The 8th Annual CT Supplier Connection Growth Summit connects small and diverse suppliers with large buyers and prime contractors across Connecticut, strengthening the regional supply chain for post-pandemic growth. The event’s centerpiece, the Business MatchMaker, offers one-on-one virtual meetings between suppliers and major buyers over a day and a half. These biannual events unite buyers, state representatives, and support organizations to raise awareness of resources for small and diverse suppliers, and we’re proud to collaborate with Connecticut Supplier Connection, the State of Connecticut, and our valued partners on this impactful initiative.
