Agenda Highlights

The Bid Blueprint Bootcamp: Too Many MWBE companies are not responding to RFPs

  • Learn how to break down an RFP and understand what agencies are really asking.

  • Discover how to respond effectively, avoid missing requirements, and strengthen compliance.

  • Use AI tools to enhance your proposals, sharpen your branding, and submit winning responses.

Beyond Construction Bootcamp: Because MWBE's provide more than construction

  • Understand how the government and large companies buy everything — from catering to cleaning.

  • Learn how to align your codes with non-construction opportunities.

  • Get practical strategies to sell your everyday services and products.

  • Get insight on where to find non construction opportunities for M/WBE Businesses.

Building Credit-A-Bility Bootcamp: MWBE's and our relationship with credit and branding

  • Learn how to build both business and personal credit while understanding how marketing and perception tie into your score.

  • Get real about the psychology of credit — what your numbers say about you and how lenders (and even Credit Karma) view your profile.

  • A transparent, no-fluff workshop that makes credit fun, relatable, and all about building a stronger financial foundation.

🔥 Fireside Chats

  • Economic Development Fireside Chat – See what’s coming down the pipeline in funding, projects, and opportunities — and how to get in position before the tide shifts.

  • Construction Fireside Chat – A candid look at the realities of building in our Region - workforce, compliance, and the strategies MWBEs need to grow.

  • Generational Wealth Fireside Chat – Learn how to turn contracts and business wins into lasting legacies for your family and community.

The MWBE Event of the year.

This is the Conference you've been waiting for.

Get your small business in line to find, and WIN, government contracts.

 

This conference can change your business and your finances, exponentially.
