FOR VENDORS > HOW QUEST APPROVES VENDORS
Under the guidance of the Quest Board of Directors, Quest regularly reviews and categorizes solutions and services providers who seek opportunities including membership, exhibiting at our events, and advertising. Vendors seeking to participate with Quest fall into one of the six categories outlined at the top of the matrix below, and from that standpoint, Quest determines the level of involvement available to them.
At the bottom of the matrix, Quest outlines each opportunity available to vendors in that category. "X" denotes the vendors' ability to participate; NA indicates those opportunities and membership benefits are not available to vendors in that category.
