A Reverse Trade Show (RTS) is an event that allows suppliers, consultants, contractors, and other company representatives the opportunity to meet with procurement professionals from numerous government agencies over the course of several hours, all in one location. The government agencies are the exhibitors and suppliers, small and large, wishing to do business with the government are the attendees. Suppliers move from table to table on the RTS floor, talking to government agencies about their needs, upcoming procurement opportunities, supplier registration, regulations, and other requirements, as well as providing agencies with information on the goods and services their company can provide.
