Thank you to Booth Hosts and suppliers who made the 2026 event a success!
Sustainable Procurement Networking Event
Join us for a great opportunity to expand your network. Make connections, explore new opportunities and learn all about selling to the public sector and other buyers in the Edmonton area.
The third annual Purchase with Purpose event is free to attend and brings together public purchasing organizations with Indigenous, diverse, social enterprises and small local businesses, as part of our commitment to bring positive environmental, social and economic impacts within our procurement processes.
Who's Invited
The City invites all small local, Indigenous and diverse-owned suppliers (businesses that are majority owned, managed and controlled by individuals who identify as members of an equity-deserving group) and suppliers that create social value in Edmonton to come and meet public sector purchasers.
