Annual Conference & Exchange
Hailed as the largest minority business conference in the world, the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) 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.

About the Conference
After disrupting our own status quo at our 50th Anniversary Conference & Exchange last year, we must now gather and focus our attention on the equity gap that has persisted in this country for far too long and expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic and our country’s recovery.
What will it take to close the equity gap? How will you contribute to the solution?
We must come together to identify the barriers facing our community. It will take a coalition of organizations, industry leaders, business owners, and changes in policy to reach economic equity. We need innovative and transformative solutions, and that’s where you come in!
Join us in Baltimore for the 2023 NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange.
