2026 'MEET THE BUYER'
Presented by INPEX
****THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT*****
Energy Club NT's annual Meet the Buyer event returns in 2026, providing a valuable platform for suppliers to connect directly with major project owners, operators, contractors and procurement teams working across the Northern Territory.
Building on the success of previous years, the event continues to focus on creating meaningful business connections by matching supplier capabilities with genuine upcoming procurement opportunities. In partnership with Industry Capability Network NT (ICN NT), participating buyers have provided forward works plans and procurement requirements, allowing supplier capabilities to be assessed and aligned with relevant project opportunities before the event.
This targeted approach helps ensure discussions are productive, relevant and focused on future work across the Territory's energy, resources and infrastructure sectors.

Supplier capabilities are reviewed and matched against participating buyers' upcoming procurement requirements.

Members selected for one-on-one meetings will receive a personalised meeting schedule prior to the event.
