Are you a woman, minority, veteran, disabled, or LGBTQ business owner who’s eager to land significant corporate contracts but unsure where to start?
If past attempts have left you feeling stuck or frustrated, navigating the process and requirements can be overwhelming but there’s hope…
Imagine landing a substantial 5, 6, or even 7-figure corporate client! Such opportunities can significantly boost your credibility and open doors to new possibilities. The good news is that becoming a corporate supplier is more achievable than ever, as corporations are eager to partner with underrepresented business owners like you and are setting ambitious diversity goals.
For instance, a 2023 report by DiversityInc revealed that Fortune 500 companies increased their spending with diverse suppliers to a record $120 BILLION, underscoring their commitment to inclusivity. However, challenges such as limited access to information and complex processes can make it difficult for businesses like yours to secure a share of this growing market. As a result, this misalignment often leads to missed opportunities.

Get ready for three power-packed days where you'll learn from corporate decision-makers, successful diverse business owners, and seasoned experts about what it takes to win corporate contracts.
