The official kick-off to the inaugural Alabama Minority Vendor Conference, the Showcase is a platform where minority business owners can exhibit their companies, interact with procurement officials, and forge valuable business relationships that have the potential to turn into long-lasting partnerships.

Vendors registered for the Showcase will be given space (one table and two chairs) to engage conference attendees in meaningful conversations, and build relationships. 

Minority vendors, public procurement agencies, and private companies are invited to host these interactive Showcase Spaces to highlight and introduce their brands, services, products, or contract opportunities to potential clients and partners.
