What is Yarpa’s Meet the Buyer?
As a registered buyer, you will meet with high-quality First Nations businesses that have the capability and capacity to deliver into your supply chain.
The day centres around Strategically Matched sessions (speed networking), where meetings are carefully curated. During registration, you’ll outline your organisation’s supply chain needs, and you’ll be matched with businesses that align with those requirements, ensuring relevant and valuable conversations.
How does it work?
Before the event, registrations are reviewed and tailored matches are created. You’ll receive a personalised meeting schedule 2–3 weeks in advance, giving you time to prepare.
On the day, your organisation will host a table while matched First Nations businesses rotate through scheduled sessions to present their capabilities and explore opportunities with you.
To maximise outcomes, we strongly recommend bringing a procurement representative or decision-maker, as their presence leads to stronger conversations and more effective partnerships.
