Supplier Diversity Summit

Connecting Diverse Companies with Wireless Business Opportunities 

Wednesday, May 25, 2022

The Supplier Diversity Summit is a signature and intimate component of Connect (X), designed to facilitate productive discussions on the role of diversity in the connectivity sector and match attendees with top-notch procurement opportunities. 

The Connect (X) 2022 Supplier Diversity Summit features targeted programming on the inclusion of veteran, women, and minority-owned businesses in the wireless infrastructure industry.  

The cornerstone of the Supplier Diversity Summit is the opportunity to engage in 1–1 meetings with procurement officials from major telecom companies. 

How To Access 1:1 Meetings With Procurement Officials:

1. Register for Connectivity Expo.

2. Receive a personalized matchmaking registration email.

3. Log in to our online platform and complete your personal profile. You can also add a company profile outlining your organization’s services and who you’d like to meet at the show.

4. Browse the online directory for potential collaborations.

5. Make and receive meeting requests from other organizations, selecting only those whose profile meets your requirements. Meetings will be hosted virtually and in-person during Connect (X)!

You will receive your personal networking calendar in advance of the show outlining your meetings!

Participants

Procurement officials from major wireless companies will join us in Denver for 1:1 meetings with diverse suppliers. 2021 meeting hosts included American Tower, Boingo Wireless, Crown Castle, Ericsson, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Phoenix Tower International, SBA Communications, T-Mobile, Vertical Bridge, and Vision Technologies.

We want to have a conversation about how we look at diversity & inclusion; not just what it means to corporate America, but what it means…to make sure that we’re closing the wealth gap, the digital divide, and to make sure that America moves forward with all of us.

Ron Busby, President/CEO, U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC)

A Match For Everyone

The goal of matchmaking meetings is for companies to gather information regarding specific programs, to learn more about the products and services, and to establish professional relationships that could potentially lead to lucrative business deals.
