SUMMARY:NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating Over 50 Years of Service\n\n\n\nFor the past 50 years\, the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) has advocated for\, certified\, and facilitated the inclusion and development of thousands of minority business enterprises (MBEs). Today\, our certified MBEs account for $400 billion in U.S. economic output annually. \nLast year as we gathered in New Orleans\, we recognized that it was time to disrupt our own status quo. We seized the moment and the network’s pure potential to reimagine the NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange. \nHailed as the largest minority business conference in the world\, the NMSDC’s Annual Conference & Exchange includes four days of education and networking with over 5\,000 corporate CEOs\, procurement executives\, supplier diversity professionals\, and leading minority business owners from across the nation. \nAnd as we move forward in a collaborative\, inclusive way\, befitting our mission and ethos\, we will continue to turn to our MBEs and corporate members and their unique insights\, goals\, and POV to help guide content selection\, drive discussion across expertise\, and organizational boundaries\, and chart the course for our next 50 years. \n\nLearn More >
