Considering a Partnership for the 2024 CAPPO Expo?  

CAPPO has a high regard for suppliers and supporting organization. It is our belief that by working together, we can achieve our greatest success. The Partnership program is built on this belief and recognizes the importance of our Supplier Partners and establishes a mutually rewarding relationship.

The CAPPO Board and Partnership Liaisons review the partnership benefits annually for ways to enhance the value for our various partnership levels. In the past years of the partnership program, the Platinum level partnership has been limited to cooperative purchasing organization. For 2024, the Platinum level partnership has been redefined to open the Platinum Partnership to suppliers that meet the requirements of the newly defined Platinum Partner.

A CAPPO Platinum Partner shall be a “cooperative contracting/procurement organization” or a company that, while it may have a business relationship with CAPPO member agencies, the company and any parent company, affiliates, divisions, or distributors, do not receive any monies directly from the public sector. The CAPPO Partnership Liaison may require additional supporting documentation demonstrating that the company meets the requirements. Platinum Partnership eligibility and continued participation is subject to final approval of the CAPPO Executive Board.

The benefits for the Partnership levels are provided in the CAPPO Partnership Program Benefits Matrix on the next page. This year CAPPO has added a special moderated roundtable discussion with our members on Tuesday morning before the Expo that is only available to CAPPO Partners.

Thank you to all the 2023 CAPPO Partners for your support and Partnership with CAPPO!
