Diverse businesses encouraged to attend MARKETPLACE Wisconsin
Discounted early-bird registration available through Nov. 4
MADISON, WI. OCT. 29, 2024 – Registration is now open for MARKETPLACE Wisconsin, the Governor’s Conference on Diverse Business Development.
The conference will take place on Dec. 11-12 at the Baird Center in Milwaukee and virtually on Dec. 10 for The Contracting Academy (TCA) sessions.
Entering its 43rd year, MARKETPLACE helps Wisconsin businesses learn about contracting with state, federal and local agencies as well as corporations, which represent billions of dollars of annual purchasing power. During this two-day in-person event, participants will connect with government and corporate buyers as well as other small businesses and service providers through networking sessions, virtual workshops, panel discussions, buyer meetings, and more.
While MARKETPLACE is open to all Wisconsin business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs, conference content is specifically crafted for small businesses owned by women, minorities, veterans, disabilities, and people from the LGBTQ community as well as HUBZone businesses. These companies can connect with resources and potentially make a deal or lay the framework for future contracts.
