What is a Reverse Vendor Fair?
It is the opposite of a trade show/vendor expo. Our members will have booths with information on how to do business with their agency and you will move from booth to booth visiting our members. A reverse vendor fair also allows you to showcase your products, make connection with our members, and renew existing relationships. Vendors do not exhibit!
