Successful supplier diversity programs EDUCATE their senior leaders, internal departments, suppliers, and socio-economic communities. They EMPOWER their internal and external partners to advocate for procurement from diverse businesses. They find approaches to SUSTAIN their own energy and resilience. They collaborate with diversity and sustainability programs to build procedures and systems that maintain support for diverse suppliers.

Regardless of your staff’s experience within supplier diversity or the maturity of your diversity program, there will be a session for every level of procurement professional at the 2016 Supplier Diversity Institute. Each day will feature a keynote speaker and concurrent education sessions, many of which will be interactive. You will have a chance to expand your network during a vendor fair on Monday evening followed by a reception at the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City. On Tuesday after an interactive keynote session and educational workshops, finish the institute sharing best practices at one of the many Mind-Exchange tables.
