The National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Annual Conference & Exchange 2024 has wrapped up another impactful event in Atlanta, running from October 20-23. This year’s conference, a gathering of diverse suppliers, corporate executives, and DE&I champions, served as a powerful platform to discuss and drive forward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) in the business landscape.
The conference focused on creating more opportunities for minority-owned businesses and strengthening supplier diversity programs. With the evolving market demands, the NMSDC Annual Conference plays a critical role in driving economic equity through the development of minority business enterprises (MBEs).
