NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange 2024 | NMSDC | 20 October 2024 | Hyatt Regency Atlanta, 265 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30303, USA

The stakes are high. In a world where every voice matters, it's crucial for you to be in the room when we define new norms. This isn't just about being at the table; it's about pulling up a chair, sharing experiences, and collectively shaping the landscape for MBEs and corporations alike. Let's pave the way forward, together.

Join us at the event, where we'll continue marching towards our ambitious goal to reach $1 trillion in NMSDC-certified MBE annual revenue by 2030. Help us rewrite the rules and propel us toward a future of inclusivity, prosperity, and equity!
