The Chamber’s second Get in the Game Procurement Fair of the year, held on November 6 at The Proud Bird in Los Angeles, was a tremendous success. The event connected small businesses with public and private buyers, supporting the region’s infrastructure projects and major global events.

The Procurement Fair was designed to help small enterprises access and learn about contracting opportunities generated by Los Angeles’ upcoming global events and ongoing infrastructure investments.

Matchmaking sessions provided direct access to buyers, offering participants valuable connections and insights. The Chamber Foundation extends special thanks to Presenting Sponsor U.S. Bank, Gold Sponsor ADP, and Bronze Sponsors Comerica, Black & Veatch, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the Department of General Services, and Boston Consulting Group.
