Maryland Green Purchasing Committee Summer Conference 

Please join the Maryland Green Purchasing Committee for a conference and expo for public purchasers.

Environmentally preferable purchasing is increasingly becoming a priority for businesses, government agencies and educational institutions. This event will provide information about the State’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program and will feature educational sessions for public purchasers interested in resources the State has developed, requirements in place for State agencies, and how to develop and implement a green purchasing program.

In addition, vendors with state contracts will exhibit their green products and services and demonstrate how they can help public purchasers achieve their green purchasing goals.

This event is free for public purchasers, but registration is required. Lunch will be provided to all attendees.
