Why should I attend?
Corporate Partners
- Supplier Diversity provides opportunities for corporations and public organizations to diversify their supply chain by incorporating suppliers that are owned by Indigenous, Black, racialized, LGBTQ, disabled, women, Veteran, and refugee people.
- Join CAMSC, CGLCC, and IWSCC to understand the benefits of having a Supplier Diversity program and discuss best practices when implementing a program. You’ll also hear first-hand from fellow corporations how their efforts to diversify their supplier base have paid off.
Diverse Suppliers
- Supplier Diversity provides diverse-owned businesses with greater access to corporate and public procurement opportunities. By connecting diverse suppliers with organizations that are actively looking to diversify their supply chain, supplier diversity is supporting the growth of those businesses that are owned by Indigenous, Black, racialized, LGBTQ, disabled, women, Veteran, and refugee people.
- This event will provide you with the opportunity to see how certification as a diverse-owned business can benefit you, to hear from corporate leaders on what they are doing to engage diverse suppliers, and to network with other entrepreneurs.
Whether you’re new to supply chain diversity or looking to expand your knowledge, this event offers an opportunity to connect with diverse suppliers and corporate partners during our networking activity. Learn from the industry leaders, forge new connections, and build a network that lasts beyond this event. Register now!
