Meet the Prime Matchmaker Events In 2015, AT&T hosted a matchmaking event in Dallas in conjunction with the AT&T Suppliers Conference. The Dallas AT&T Meet the Primes Matchmaker Event was designed to bring diverse suppliers together with AT&T Prime Suppliers for 15-minute face-to-face meetings. In each meeting, primes and diverse suppliers discussed current and future contract opportunities. In total, there were 119 meetings with 12 primes and 50 diverse suppliers. There were also 65 follow-up meetings scheduled.
