2026 Gainesville Supplier Development Exchange

The Office of Supplier Development and University of Florida, Small Business Relations are proud to present the 2026 Gainesville Supplier Development Exchange on September 16th. The exchange is a forum for small businesses to learn about government contracting and to network with state, federal, and local government representatives.

This is a reverse trade show where small businesses will have the opportunity to walk around to tables hosted by governmental entities and businesses with subcontracting opportunities.

• IF you are a small business, please register as a "Supplier/Small Business" in order to pre-register for this event. You will not see an option to select to have a table at this event. Tables are reserved for government agencies or businesses with subcontracting opportunities.

• IF you are a governmental representative, please register as a "State, Local, Federal or other agency" and indicate if you would like to have a table.

• IF you are a business with subcontracting opportunities, please register as a "Business with subcontracting opportunities" and indicate if you would like to have a table. Due to priority table spots for government representatives, you will be placed on a waitlist for table availability. We will reach out via email if you are selected to have a table at the event.

If you have questions or wish to verify your registration, please contact the Florida Office of Supplier Development's Outreach Coordinator, Courteney Sykes at [email protected].
