MSDUK 2010 Conference, Supplier Diversity – Get Inspired, Get Informed, Get Connected

05/10/2010 09:00 - 06/10/2010 17:00

The 2010 MSDUK conference is the benchmark event for Supplier Diversity in the UK. As the UK’s leading organisation promoting and supporting corporations with their supplier diversity goals we have access to the widest knowledge pool of corporate, public and ethnic minority speakers on the subject. Join us from 5-6 October at Lords Cricket Ground, London and Marriott Grosvenor Square, London.

The two day event comprises three main elements: MSDUK Knowledge Forum, MSDUK Business Opportunity Fair and the MSDUK Awards Reception & Dinner.
You should attend these 3 events if your aim is to:

• Expand your knowledge of supplier diversity and get practical information on how large organisations in the UK are developing their programmes
• Hear directly from corporate procurement teams, international supplier diversity experts and leading ethnic minority business analysts on how to engage with diverse businesses
• Engage in discussion and debate with 40 plus global procurement teams, senior business leaders and ethnic minority businesses
• Support and witness the recognition and reward for corporations and ethnic minority businesses that have excelled through engagement

The MSDUK Knowledge Forum will provide the opportunity to learn from leading supplier diversity practitioners and industry experts who will share their best practices. Combining plenary key-note sessions with audience tailored seminars this event is a must for anyone with an interest in supplier diversity.

MSDUK's 2nd Awards Reception & Dinner will recognise the achievements of the UK's leading ethnic minority businesses (EMBs) and Corporations. EMBs will be recognised with 3 separate Awards for Innovation, Business Growth and Responsible Business Practices, as well as an overall 2010 Supplier of the Year. We will also be awarding the Corporation of the Year and the Corporate Procurement Advocate of the Year. Category finalists and winners will be honoured at this glittering Awards Dinner.

The MSDUK Business Opportunity Fair: With 60+ exhibitors, 100 ethnic minority business owners and 100+ buyers from MSDUK membership, this event will showcase the best of the UK’s ethnic minority businesses . Buying organisations will have an opportunity to engage in formal and informal discussions with a wide range of diverse suppliers. MSDUK Corporate members will also benefit from being able to pre-arrange one to one meetings with suppliers of their choice.
