Small Business Forum

Vendor Forum LogoJoin us at Fairfax County’s highly acclaimed annual Small Business Forum and Reverse Tradeshow. Learn how you can be a part of the county’s diverse and highly competitive annual $700M procurement spend. Bring your entrepreneurial spirit and learn how to grow your business opportunities. 

The Small Business Forum is a free annual event hosted by Fairfax County. This event was created to provide a forum for small businesses to interact directly with county procurement representatives. Hosted in conjunction with the Fairfax County Small Business Commission, the Vendor Forum provides an intimate and interactive setting for suppliers to:
  • Network with Fairfax County agencies and their large contractors
  • Discover marketing and business fundamentals that can help grow your company
  • Explore alternative options for funding your business
  • Learn how to properly and effectively pursue work with Fairfax County
The Reverse Tradeshow is the heart of the Vendor Forum where Fairfax County agencies and selected contractors are ready to discuss suppliers’ capabilities and their requirements face to face. This is a great opportunity to make Fairfax County decision makers aware of suppliers’ offerings as they look to expand their network.
