The MarketPlace is NC State’s one-stop shop for departmental supply purchases. We created the MarketPlace Expo as a space for campus customers to meet MarketPlace representatives in person and to learn about any new products and sevices they are offering.
Last year, we welcomed over 500 employees to the virtual and in-person event. The food trucks in attendance were a huge hit, and we invited them back again this year. More than 30 MarketPlace suppliers attended the event. Each of our suppliers enjoyed giving out samples, promotional items and speaking with their campus customers.
This year, once again offered as both in-person and virtual events, we have even more suppliers signed up to attend the MarketPlace Expo. Our suppliers have already expressed how much they are looking forward to interacting with existing and potential new customers. There will be door prize drawings for those who participate in either event!
