Event Description

The 2017 Conference will serve as a forum to share information, build relationships and to foster an environment of strong, diverse businesses that will strengthen New Jersey’s economy, with a goal of expanding the number of growth oriented and sustainable African American enterprises and leveraging the correlation of African American consumer spending to New Jersey’s economy.

Panel

The Purpose of the conference is to build strategic partnerships that will promote supplier diversity.
