Due to circumstances beyond our control, MBDA is rescheduling the 2012 National MED Week Conference to December 5-6, 2012 in Washington, D.C.

We are excited about the great opportunity to once again convene the Minority Business Enterprises and MBDA clients and partners, as well as the general business community,  to celebrate the 30^th anniversary of the National Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week.  This milestone celebration is being organized and coordinated in a manner befitting its place in history.  

The conference is the Nation’s premier event for minority entrepreneurs and the public and private sectors. The MED Week Conference offers a venue for minority-owned firms to access information, tools and resources to grow their businesses both domestically and internationally.

Each year, thousands of minority-owned firms across a variety of industries converge upon Washington, DC to connect with public and private sector buyers, explore avenues for business expansion, and develop thriving partnerships with firms across multiple industry sectors.   

This is done through networking events, workshops and issue forums, including:

• Business-to-business matchmaking sessions with corporate procurement officials and capital providers;

• Global networking events with embassy officials from Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East;

• The MED Week Awards Program honoring some of the fastest growing minority-owned firms, entrepreneurs and advocates in the country.
