The Spring Vendor Fair, hosted by the UNM purchasing department, is scheduled for Wednesday, May 21, in the Student Union Building Ballroom from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fair allows participants networking opportunities to create new business opportunities and strengthen existing business relationships within the UNM community. It also helps to provide small and disadvantaged businesses a greater opportunity to compete fairly and equally in the market.
University purchasing agents, staff and faculty will be attending the fair to learn about the products and services area businesses can provide. (None of the institutions have confirmed so I am not sure which ones will be in attendance.)
The business participation fee is $60, which includes a booth consisting of a 6’ skirted table, 8’ background curtain, two chairs, one line identification sign (35 letters) and one parking pass.
Interested participants are encouraged to register early. Booths will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Vendor booths will be pre-assigned in the order in which the registration form and payment are received – the earlier the registration form and payment are submitted, the greater the chance a vendor has to receive this prime location to advertise their business. Approximately 80 booths will be available for vendors and institutions.
If you own a business and are interested in participating, please complete the registration form available from the UNM Purchasing Department web site at: Spring Vendor Fair. The registration deadline is Friday, April 18, 2008. Registered participants will receive a letter confirmation, a map to the Student Union Building, a map to the parking structure and a parking pass two weeks prior to the fair.
