MOKAN Council of Public Procurement

One week until ProcureFest! MOKAN's 2025 Reverse Vendor Fair! Whether you are a vendor or an agency, there is still time to register!


We’re flipping the script! At the MOKAN ProcureFest & Reverse Vendor Fair, vendors get the invaluable opportunity to meet directly with procurement teams from area agencies across the greater Kansas City region.
Instead of vendors setting up booths, agencies will be the ones showcasing their purchasing needs. You, the vendor, will walk booth-to-booth, making meaningful connections with the people who make buying decisions.
Why Attend?
✔ Connect with multiple potential customers in one place
✔ Pitch your products/services directly to decision-makers
✔ Learn how to navigate each agency’s purchasing process
✔ Discover upcoming bids, projects, and partnership opportunities
✔ Build relationships that grow your business
How It Works:
🔄 In a traditional vendor fair, vendors wait for buyers to stop by.
🔁 In a reverse vendor fair, you seek out the buyers — and they’re ready to talk.
Ready to grow your business?
👉 Vendors and Agencies REGISTER NOW and secure your spot!

Vendors: Discounted rates available for groups of 3 or more. Walk-in rates are higher, so early registration is encouraged!

Day 2 reminds us that caring leadership isn’t just a theme—it’s who we are. We're shaping a culture of connection and compassion. And nothing embodies that better than today’s Awards Luncheon, where we honor the incredible impact of this community. Here’s to leading with heart—and lifting one another higher.

80 years of NIGP Forum, and the message rings clear—our greatest achievements are rooted in the people beside us. Thanks to Seb Terry, today's keynote speaker for the powerful reminder. Here’s to connection, celebration, and the next 80.

Hey ya'll! It's Forum week here in Charlotte, NC! Whether you are virtual or in person, the content sessions and networking have been off the charts! Now that we wrap up day 3, what are some takeaways you have had? Let's hear from our MKCPP peeps!

For me, I absolutely loved the public speaking workshop put on by Christin Webb. Her energy, engagement ,and easy to implement tips will be so useful when presenting to stakeholders. What a great model for current and upcoming procurement leaders!
