Attention MBEs! Secure Your Spot to “Get Picked!”
Imagine networking with over 25 corporate giants all in one place, propelling your business forward like never before. That’s the power of Super MatchMaker.
This year, we’re introducing “Get Picked,” a groundbreaking initiative connecting MBEs with major corporations for impactful relationship-building and procurement exploration. After our Super MatchMaker event, each corporation will extend a special invitation to 5 MBEs for one-on-one meetings to nurture valuable relationships. Come to the table prepared to showcase your capabilities and get picked for future one-on-one meetings*.
Additionally, we’re thrilled to present our Capital Readiness Room, where 8 capital providers will be on hand to discuss your financial needs both now and in the future.
*The selection for future meetings is entirely at the discretion of the roundtable host, and we cannot guarantee that every MBE will be invited to a one-on-one.
