UNSPSC 80141637: Conference fees

Conference Fee means the fee we charge for your attendance at a conference for Chain Facilities and their franchisees when and if held.

UNSPSC 80141637 Conference fees is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to tag opportunities for enrollment, attendance fees, sponsorships, and vendor participation in educational conferences, trade shows, vendor forums, and networking events hosted by procurement associations, government agencies, or third-party organizations. The recent solicitations show no traditional goods or services procurement under this code; instead, they document event participation costs — reverse trade shows, vendor forums, purchasing conferences, and industry association annual meetings where government procurement professionals and vendors connect. The issuing bodies are state and county purchasing offices, municipal governments, and non-profit procurement associations hosting the events; participants range from single-jurisdiction purchasing departments to multi-state cooperatives. The code appears to capture administrative transactional costs of market access and relationship-building rather than substantive service contracts.

Geographic activity in the past five months spans Florida (Pasco, Marion, Orange, Indian River counties; Tampa Bay Area Chapter and Central Florida Chapter of NIGP; statewide FAPPO event), Texas (Williamson County Vendor Forum, Collin County Governmental Purchasers Forum), Connecticut, Arizona, New Jersey, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Tampa Bay Area Chapter of NIGP 2026 Reverse Trade Show (posted June 25, 2026, supplier kit due same date); Marion County 2nd Annual Reverse Trade Show (posted June 3, 2026, event June 17, 2026); Pasco County How to Do Business Event (posted January 23, 2026, event March 2, 2026); and the FAPPO 2026 Annual Tradeshow (posted January 22, 2026, May 4, 2026 event at Orlando). These are all vendor-participation or exhibitor-registration opportunities rather than competitive solicitations. Most carry early-bird discounts or sponsorship tiers ($500–$2,200 range noted in Central Florida NIGP event). No contract awards, service deliverables, or performance metrics appear in the records — the code documents event fees and booth registration only. This category sees steady activity in Florida and Texas but represents margin opportunity rather than core revenue.
