Connecticut Department of Administrative Services — Procurement Events

The Department of Administrative Services (State of Connecticut, DAS) operates a Procurement division that hosts and/or organizes procurement-related events, including workshops, certification clinics, business matchmakers, and statewide procurement conferences and expos. These events cover topics aligned with the user's search terms such as government procurement conference, public purchasing summit, contracting/acquisition conferences, and RFP/sourcing summits. Connecticut DAS maintains an events calendar and procurement program pages listing recurring procurement trainings and matchmaker events. Many other state Departments of Administrative Services (e.g., Georgia DOAS, Oregon DAS, Iowa DAS) similarly run vendor orientations and statewide procurement conferences; the generic name "Department of Administrative Services" therefore maps to multiple state-level agencies that do organize procurement conferences.
