    Join Quorum, Vizient, and Allina Health for an exciting opportunity to learn about community contracting and Vizient's Supplier Diversity Program.

    Don't know what Group Purchasing is and how your certified business can participate? Learn more at this engaging Zoom event!

    In 2020, Vizient announced its Community Contracting Program for contract opportunities which now includes certified businesses owned by people who are LGBTQIA+. This expansion of its Supplier Diversity Program from minority-, women-, disabled- and veteran-owned businesses includes not just national supplier contracts for Vizient’s member hospitals and other organizations, but offers contract opportunities for local and small to medium sized businesses through Community Contracting and additional opportunities for suppliers through Vizient corporate purchases as well.

    Community Contracting creates regional collectives around the nation, simplifying the process for participating providers to commit to purchasing products or services from diverse suppliers in and around their communities. Participating suppliers gain access to Vizient  data, resources and insights — as well as capacity-building opportunities — to help achieve business goals.

    Promote your business and get quality networking time in before the workday even begins.

    These breakfasts focus on roundtable networking and give attendees the chance to exchange business information, develop new prospects, and share a 60-second commercial. This networking event allows earlier risers to make the most of their busy morning and grow business through new connections and relationships. We also feature quick networking breakout sessions to share information about your business or organization, and get those referrals!

    Our (timed) 60-second pitches are very fun and yes it's okay to prep.  Don't forget that it’s great for other attendees to hear what you are looking to buy and who you want to meet, as well as what you are selling.

    Join Our Meeting! (This does require a free Zoom account to participate.)
