FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: One-on-One Sessions
What Is a One on One Session?
One-on-one sessions are 10-minute interviews with individual state procurement professionals to discuss your company’s products and services along with the state’s procurement policies and practices.
How Do I Sign Up For an Interview During the One on One Session?
Once state participants are confirmed, one-on-one interviews will be available for scheduling on-line based on your organization’s sponsorship level and the order in which registrations were received.
How Will I Know My Interviews Have Been Confirmed?
Interviews will be confirmed by email and posted to the NASPO website one to two weeks prior to the conference.
What should I do if I am not able to get an interview(s) with my preferred state(s)?
Please remember the one-on-one interviews are only one of the many opportunities available to speak with the state directors.
- Ask a NASPO staff person to introduce you to the director
- Ask the director if they are available to talk during lunch or one of the receptions
- Pose a question during one of the sessions by first introducing yourself as a representative of your company
- Join them for breakfast
You should also watch for cancellations and no-shows. Many interviews are scheduled, but by the last day of the conference the person may have had an opportunity to speak with the state prior to their scheduled interview time. Occasionally we see cancellations or no-shows in the one-on-one sessions and staff will attempt to fill those vacancies on a first come, first served basis.
