The NH Small Business Matchmaker brings small businesses together with prime contractors and federal and state agencies. Its design allows small businesses to meet with exhibitors that are looking for small businesses with appropriate services or products to fulfill their government contracts. Attendees can also connect with Small Business Resources at the event.
The NH Matchmaker allows small businesses ample opportunity to meet with exhibitors. We strive for a relaxed atmosphere so meetings occur on a first come basis. It is not structured with scheduled appointments. Keeping meetings meaningful but brief (up to 10 minutes) allows everyone to get their turn.
The event provides great networking opportunities so come prepared with plenty of business cards and get ready to make connections and build relationships with exhibitors and other small businesses.
