Individual ten-minute meetings will be conducted via Twilio and the links/access will be provided for all confirmed matches prior to the event. Small Business participants will be limited in the number of matchmaking sessions based upon the total number of large business registrants.

Tetra Tech USAID US Department of State Note: limit 2 matchmaking participants for each small business to allow all small businesses to participate Small business vendors should be registered to attend AND complete their company profiles in the Eventdex system so large businesses can begin to fill their appointment slots on June 1, 2020. The system works best if large business and small business vendors have a clear picture of products/services sought or offered so completing profile information after registration is essential. Even if small business vendors don't make the 5/31 priority deadline, they can still register to obtain an appointment after this date. Appointment selection opens on June 8th to all small business vendors to select appointments not yet filled. Additional details and instructions on this process will be provided to registrants. All new registrations and appointment selections will close on June 15th�at midnight. By participating in matchmaking you agree to utilize 3rd party platform (Eventdex) which requires a separate login to make and manage your afternoon match schedule (additional instructions will be provided to registrants). Virtual one-on-one matchmaking will occur using a tie in via Twilio and you will be provided the meeting links by Eventdex. No software downloads required.
