A virtual vendor forum scheduled for Friday with the state Employment Development Department has been postponed until March 7.
The event’s theme is the “Online Identity Proofing initiative.” The event is a joint presentation by EDD and City Innovate, a San Francisco-based government technology company.
Each Vendor Day focuses on a specific challenge or need. The purpose of the March 7 Vendor Day “is to introduce the vendor community to EDDNext and the Online Identity Proofing initiative,” City Innovate Executive Vice President Marlon Paulo said in a LinkedIn post. “EDD is seeking to identify innovative organizations to partner with to transform how we conduct business in a rapidly evolving environment and solve EDDNext challenges.”
The event will begin with opening remarks and an overview of EDDNext. Following that, “challenge statements” will be proposed, giving vendors an idea of the nature and scope of the project and what solutions would be appropriate. Then, vendors will have a chance to ask questions and to offer feedback.
Those seeking to attend the event should email Maxwell Thompson at City Innovate and include their company, name and email address. Those who have already registered need not do so again, Thompson said, and an updated link will be emailed to them.
