The SEB Connect App is a powerful way to bridge the gap between small businesses and big opportunities. Launched as part of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center's Small and Emerging Business (SEB) program, the SEB Connect App will work to directly connect local New Orleans businesses with a steady stream of large contract opportunities. New Orleans & Company members have the exclusive opportunity to submit their RFPS FREE OF CHARGE to be posted on their behalf by the convention center. This will not only benefit small businesses, but larger hotels, restaurant groups, and DMCs too, as they will gain access to reliable local businesses offering a taste of New Orleans.
If you are a small or emerging business, gaining access to these opportunities is simple-- download the app and it will guide you through the process. Businesses already registered as SEBs can login with their existing credentials, and businesses not yet registered can start the process in the app. Once signed up, businesses will receive RFPs as soon as they're published. All that's left to do is show off what your business has to offer! This new technology will streamline connections between small vendors and large businesses.
The following message from New Orleans & Company's Vice President of External Affairs, Kevin Ferguson, offers more information on this unique opportunity:
The SEB Connect app is a tool for collaboration across New Orleans, allowing our city to do what it does best -- offer world class hospitality that always comes with a bit of our culture. This exciting new technology is an opportunity to increase your supplier diversity, find your next big contract, or simply make a new connection in the hospitality industry. Don't hesitate to take advantage of what the app has to offer.
