About this event

2026 NMPPA SPRING CONFERENCE + VENDOR FAIR
March 25 - 27, 2026
MCM Elegante Lodge & Resort Ruidoso, NM
NMPPA is pleased to host this Spring's conference and vendor fair in Ruidoso, New Mexico, March 25 - 27, 2026. Lodging will be at the MCM Elegante Lodge & Resort and the conference will be held at the Ruidoso Convention Center which is adjacent to the MCM Elegante.
We hope you find immense value in the educational sessions, networking opportunities, supplier connections, and inspiring speakers that re-energize us to face our daily challenges with renewed vigor and clarity of purpose.
As you explore the exhibit hall and join sessions led by industry thought leaders, you’ll gain fresh perspectives and build partnerships that last well beyond the conference. We’re excited to bring together procurement professionals, suppliers, and thought leaders in one of the West’s most inviting cities. Get ready for a productive, engaging, and memorable experience. See you in Ruidoso!
