Be Informed – Become Engaged – Be A Mission Mover

The Power of Partnering Marketplace is one of the signature events during GWBC's 10 year anniversary celebration and has been expanded to two days to maximize your visibility and engagement.

Maximize your company's visibility at a fraction of the cost for advertising and marketing by becoming a sponsor. Gain exposure for your buyers who can earn ISM Certified Purchasing Manager (C.P.M.) education hours. Their participation can provide savings to the supply chain training budget.
