All Cities in attendance expressed their excitement to participate in what is believed to be the first and only event to gather cities located in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties to collectively work to advance small business growth and development!
The economic impact generated by connecting the businesses the many Cities proved more valuable than anticipated.
“Thank you for inviting the City of Pompano Beach to the City of Miramar’s above-referenced event that was a huge success. Because of you, vendors were introduced to various municipalities to learn how to do business with cities that will assist them with any business’ goal of growing its business. City’s sharing pertinent information with communities. You did that! The City of Pompano Beach remains here to assist you and engage in any future opportunities that will educate and empower our businesses.” {General Services Director Carla Byrd, City of Pompano Beach}
Minority firms were elated to be able to display their goods and services to over a dozen cities all at once! So many of these small business owners shared of the amount of time and resources the City of Miramar saved them by extending this great agency connection opportunity.
Cities came prepared to share their upcoming contracting opportunities with the local, small and minority firms in attendance. Upon hearing of the great services, the firms offered, many procurement professionals scheduled meetings to connect firms with other leaders in need of their assistance.
To their surprise and delight, Cities also learned of amazing services to enhance their bottom line, and goods to improve safety. For example, the young minority owners of the Lien Library firm who showcased their innovative approach to helping cities collect outstanding liens electronically. And a female entrepreneur, Ava Williams, that introduced the cities to clear air equipment to rid the atmosphere of contaminants and ensures more protection for staff, residents and guests that visit the city facilities.
Due to the tremendous success, the City of Miramar will continue to host and expand this Tri-County City Collaboration! More importantly, if your city desire to participate in BID’s 3rd Annual event next year, just click on the QR Code below so that we can provide your official invitation.
