All firms can begin to request meetings on Friday, August 19, 2022. The delay between registration and the date to request meetings is to allow for a robust database of participating firms. We encourage businesses to upload their capability statements when registering for the NMACC III VOME. Each registrant will request to meet with other businesses that align with services or products they provide or are seeking. Registration does not guarantee a meeting and each business will decide which requests meet their needs by acceptance of the meeting request(s). A valid email address is required in each registration profile that is compatible with various virtual tools (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WebEx, etc.). Once your firm receives confirmation of a confirmed meeting from the scheduling site, a follow-up email with the virtual meeting information will be provided. NOTE : If connectivity issues occur using the virtual tools, participants can hold their session telephonically. Rescheduling of missed meetings is the responsibility of the firms effected.
