Meet the Buyer is a must-attend event for businesses looking to put themselves front and centre with the people who drive government procurement.
Most recently held on 2nd July 2025, Meet the Buyer is organised by the Office of the Industry Advocate, in partnership with the South Australian Government and the South Australian Business Chamber. This unique opportunity allows you to connect directly with state government buyers and gain valuable insights into government procurement.
In addition to representatives from more than 40 State Government departments and public authorities, Meet the Buyer exhibitors include head contractors from major infrastructure projects, industry associations and local government representatives.
