About this conference

The California Supplier Diversity Symposium aims to foster next-level inclusion in procurement by connecting small and diverse suppliers to statewide opportunities. The free event focuses on increasing the economic impact of California’s small and diverse businesses by expanding their access to business resources and procurement opportunities. Attendees can expect to listen to industry experts discuss opportunities in insurance, utilities, healthcare, transportation, and government, discover different purchasing methods, learn how to use state certifications with cities, counties, and more, and get help optimizing Cal eProcure accounts. The symposium, hosted by the Statewide Coalition on Diversity Initiatives in partnership with the City of Pasadena and several California state departments, includes a plenary session, a resource expo, breakout sessions, and panel discussions.

Sponsorship options

Opportunities are available for community partners and exhibitors to support the Symposium. Exhibiting in the free Resource Expo allows government agencies, business assistance organizations, and businesses to build relationships with small and diverse businesses, increase awareness of procurement opportunities, and strengthen collaboration across government and the private sector. Community Partners receive premier booth locations in recognition of their support. Further details for community partners are provided in the Community Prospectus.
