Event Sponsors
Hosting Sponsor
Organizations are becoming more deliberate about their diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) efforts across the board, and the multibillion-dollar supply chain may be one of the most effective places to do so. In addition to eradicating long-standing discrimination and fostering economic opportunity, initiatives to increase supplier diversity can also have a positive impact on the performance of the buying company's own operations. Numerous businesses have created supplier diversity programs to broaden their procurement strategy in recognition of the influence that different suppliers may have.
Join us to gain valuable insight on becoming a supplier to major companies and best practices on building a diverse supplier base within your own organization.
