2026 Supplier Matchmaking Expo


Date: July 29, 2026

Time: 10:00 AM

Location: Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort

7500 East Doubletree Ranch Road

Scottsdale, AZ 85258


The 2026 Supplier Matchmaking Expo on July 29 brings together American suppliers and corporate/government buyers for focused, one-on-one matchmaking meetings. This free, in-person event offers pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings with buyers, an exhibit hall featuring buyer organizations and business resource partners, and valuable networking opportunities.


Supplier matchmaking is one of the most effective ways to build relationships that can lead to future contracts—but preparation is key. Bring an up-to-date capability statement, be ready to clearly communicate what makes your business stand out, and come prepared to make a lasting impression.


Don't miss this opportunity to strengthen your network, showcase your capabilities, and position your business for future success. Space is limited, so register today!

Need to refresh your capability statement before the expo?


Join us on July 8 for our upcoming Capability Statement Webinar!


Learn how to create a compelling capability statement step-by-step. We'll cover what to include, how to write each section effectively, and how to clearly communicate your differentiators so your business stands out to buyers.


The webinar is offered in two parts:

1:00–2:00 PM – Getting Started with Government Contracting

2:00–3:00 PM – How to Write a Capability Statement


Attend both sessions for the full experience or join the session that's most relevant to your business.


Can't make it on July 8? No problem! We'll be offering the webinar again on July 14. More details coming soon.
