NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange

Recognized as the world's largest business conference of its kind, the NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange welcomes all attendees. This four-day event is open to all business owners, corporate members, and stakeholders committed to advancing supplier inclusion, economic equity, and competitive supply chains. The conference offers broad access to networking, learning, and growth opportunities---bringing together more than 3,000 corporate CEOs, procurement executives, supplier diversity professionals, and leading minority-owned business owners from across industries and backgrounds nationwide. At the 2026 NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange, we will come together under the theme Drive Growth for Shared Prosperity. This year's theme reflects a critical truth: minority businesses do not lack capability or ambition, they need fuel. Access to capital, contracts, technology, and trusted partnerships are the resources that transform potential into growth. When MBEs grow, that growth extends beyond individual businesses to employees, families, communities, and supply chains across the country. This conference is a call to action for MBEs, corporate leaders, policymakers, and advocates alike. Together, we'll explore how to accelerate growth, strengthen connections, and create shared prosperity that benefits us all.
