Businesses eager to sell goods and services connected to the Democratic National Convention will soon have a directory online.
"The vendor directory will probably be live in the next week," Mike Dino, chief executive of the Denver host committee, told a meeting of 150 people on Thursday.
Planners expect 35,000 people here for the convention in late August 2008, with tens of millions of dollars in spending.
There's already an online application to register for the directory, with 20 categories, including banking, catering, security and transportation. There are also self-identified designations for businesses owned by minorities, women, persons with disabilities, veterans, as well as union shops and green companies.
Thursday's event, "Leveraging the Democratic National Convention," was a Downtown Denver Partnership member forum held at the Oxford Hotel.
