2020 Exchange

event

details

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Due to ongoing concerns about the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and the designation of a pandemic by the World Health Organization, NASPO has decided to cancel the 2020 NASPO Exchange Conference scheduled for March 24-26 in Nashville, TN. Our members, suppliers, partners, and staff are our top priority and we strongly believe this is the right decision given the current circumstances. We appreciate your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at future NASPO events.

WHAT IS THE NASPO EXCHANGE?

The purpose of the NASPO Exchange is to build relationships among the supplier community and state governments, the largest consumers of goods and services in the country. This conference is a place where learning, networking and partnering come together to develop business relationships to support public procurements that are effective, efficient, transparent and fair.

  • Learn through dedicated and targeted education on current trends in state procurement.

  • Network throughout the conference in
    One-on-One appointments, roundtables
    and collaborative projects.

  • Partner with suppliers and state government representatives to support effective public procurement outcomes.

In an effort to maximize the Exchange One-on-One experience for both suppliers and state procurement officials, only manufacturers and suppliers are invited to attend the 2020 NASPO Exchange. NASPO ValuePoint, the exclusive cooperative purchasing arm of NASPO, and MMCAP Infuse, a Minnesota-led pharmaceutical and healthcare cooperative, are the sole cooperatives proud to participate in the 2020 Exchange.

​ANY AND ALL SUPPLIERS ARE WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE!

NASPO EXCHANGE PARTICIPANT STANDARDS AND EXPECTATIONS

NASPO believes mutual benefit is derived from collaboration between suppliers and members to improve public procurement practices through shared information. By bringing these parties together in a cooperative environment with the highest standards of ethics, NASPO can develop educational programs on procurement issues for its members and suppliers.

NASPO’s Board of Directors has enacted and defined by formal policy the following standards and expectations for supplier and member behavior at the NASPO Exchange. It states:

  • NASPO members, as public employees directly or indirectly involved in the expenditure of public funds through the state procurement process, must always conduct themselves in a manner that promotes the highest ethical standards.
  • NASPO members shall at no time accept gifts, gratuities or other things of value from suppliers, which might influence or appear to influence procurement decisions.
  • NASPO members receiving funding to attend the Exchange shall commit to fulfilling all scheduled One-on-One appointments. Members are expected to participate fully in program elements for the purpose of fostering engagement and education of the supplier community.
  • Suppliers shall refrain from offering gifts, gratuities or other items of value to NASPO members.
  • Suppliers shall refrain from contacting members in advance of, or during, the conference to arrange meetings outside the One-on-One system provided by NASPO.
  • Suppliers shall ensure they are familiar with, and abide by, the One-on-One rules and guidelines associated with the selected registration type.
  • Suppliers shall refrain from holding receptions, dinners, or other functions in conjunction with or during the course of NASPO-sanctioned events.
  • Member and suppliers shall conduct themselves in a manner that promotes the highest ethical standards and avoids activities and behavior that would place, or even appear to place, a NASPO member in a conflict of interest.
