This year, the 10th Annual MarketPlace Expo took place during the month of November. In addition to celebrating a 10-year milestone, this was also a unique event because, for the first time, it was offered in a hybrid format, allowing MarketPlace suppliers and campus customers to participate either in person, virtually, or both.
In-Person Experience
The in-person event took place at the McKimmon Center on November 11. With 40 suppliers and 309 campus customers in attendance, the in-person event generated excitement by giving suppliers and customers the opportunity to interact again in a face-to-face setting.
Virtual Platform
The Virtual MarketPlace Expo took place November 15 – 30 through a new platform that allowed customers to browse through suppliers’ catalogs, watch informational videos, drop a virtual business card, or send a direct message to the supplier. Over the two-week period, 336 campus customers participated in the virtual expo.
