This is not a conference people just attend.
It is a conference they leave equipped to use.

Sponsorship here funds business education, practical training, supplier diversity, procurement access, MWBE and SDVOB development, and the implementation tools owners take home. The sponsor enhances the learning environment — the sponsor never becomes the curriculum.
