Third Annual NCMSDC / NAMC-WI

Construction Industry Business-to-Business Forum

 

Building the Future!

 

Thursday, September 6TH, 2018 FROM 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM CST

The North Central Minority Supplier Development Council (NCMSDC) is proud to announce the Annual NCMSDC/NAMC-WI Construction Industry Business-to-Business Forum presented in partnership with National Association of Minority Contractors - Wisconsin Chapter.

The area's leading diverse suppliers, general contractors, developers, and NCMSDC Corporate Members will convene in one location to impact change, by supporting quality advancement, growth, and diversity in the region's construction industry.

The Forum will feature panel discussions presented by general contractors, developers and NCMSDC Corporate Members, sharing their upcoming projects, what they are looking for and how to compete for these opportunities.

Then, we will break into one-on-one matchmaker meetings where diverse suppliers will be scheduled to meet with general contractors, developers and NCMSDC Corporate members personally to discuss these opportunities and their company.

We have per person registrations for diverse businesses, as well as Resource Table registrations, with multiple attendees, to enhance your company’s presence and branding at the event.

For NCMSDC Corporate Members and Buying Companies, we have a Buyer Engagement Table registration, allowing you multiple attendees.

For everyone, to increase your company’s presence and branding, register to be a Featured Partner.  Featured Partners will be highlighted in marketing collateral prior to the program and will receive on-site visibility the day of the program.
