Matchmaking Sessions
Interested in learning about new business opportunities for your company? We have invited over 15 corporations to participate. Most minority business owners learn about deals and opportunities when agreements have already been made. The Matchmaking Sessions are created to solve the problem of equitable access to
business opportunities and to showcase talented Black entrepreneurs. Matchmaking opportunities will run from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM. The scheduled sessions will allow attendees the opportunity to hear first-hand about upcoming business opportunities with major companies.
Attendees will be matched ahead of time for a series of 15-minute one-to-one meetings. Due to the high demand, the matchmaking sessions are limited in availability and will be offered to Chamber members on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once the sessions are confirmed, you will meet with the corporate representative to discuss your company, and the new business opportunities/RFP/job openings at the specific company.
