2015 Supplier Diversity Trade Show

Lexmark International is looking to grow its roster of diverse suppliers. We would like to invite you and other regional certified minority-owned businesses to our global headquarters in Lexington, Ky., to participate in our company’s first supplier diversity trade show.

The event will be a daylong event on Oct. 6, 2015 in which you will have the opportunity to learn more about Lexmark and the business needs you might help us fulfill; network with purchasing decision makers in four Lexmark organizations (marketing, human resources, facilities and IT); hear from a few of our current suppliers and customers; and build a relationship with a leading global technology company that has a presence in more than 170 countries but is headquartered not far from you.

No purchasing decisions will be made at the trade show, but you will have the opportunity to make connections that could result in a future partnership.
