(BPRW) Billions of Dollars in Contracting Opportunities to be Presented at Florida’s 40th Annual MEDWeek Business Matchmaker Conference – October 21-22, 2022
The MEDWeek Legacy Awards Gala will recognize and honor forty minority firms, advocates and strategic partners for outstanding achievements
(Black PR Wire) MIAMI – The premier event for small, minority, women and veteran-owned businesses in Florida is just around the corner! M. Gill & Associates and its MBDA Programs will present Florida’s 40th Annual MEDWeek Business Matchmaker Conference & Legacy Award Gala from Friday, October 21 to Saturday, October 22. The conference takes place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Airport Hotel & Convention Center in Miami, Florida.
Florida’s MEDWeek conference has connected hundreds of minority-owned businesses with financing and contracts throughout the decades, and the 40th will be no different. True to this year’s conference theme, MEDWeek Coordinator, Marie Gill said that conference organizers are committed to helping small, minority, women and veteran-owned businesses “continue a legacy of resilience, innovation and growth.” She said that many business opportunities are lost for not having access to the resources and the connections provided at MEDWeek.
Businesses are encouraged to register NOW – AT NO COST – to take advantage of this unique opportunity to hone their management and branding skills and gain greater access to business financing, contracts, and export leads. This year’s MEDWeek program will focus on matching federal and local government and corporations with small, minority and women businesses to engage in contracting opportunities made possible under the new INFRASTRUCTURE LAW.
Business owners thinking of expanding their markets overseas will have the chance to connect with International Delegates from Guatemala, Belize, Chile, Mexico, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Martinique, Barbados, Guyana, Kenya and Nigeria. Tentative European country representatives are also expected from Italy, UK, and France.
The MEDWeek Legacy Awards Gala, to be held on Saturday evening, October 22nd, will take a trip down memory lane and will recognize and honor forty of Florida’s most successful MBEs, Advocates, and Strategic Partners who have connected with, and benefited from the MBDA Programs operated by M.
