New York State Governor Kathy Hochul announced the open registration period of the twelfth annual Minority-and Women-Owned Business Enterprise forum which is scheduled for Oct. 6-7.
The event will be held at the Albany Capital Center and this year’s theme will be “Building an Equitable Future”. This year’s forum will use a hybrid format with some events being held in-person and others online.
The annual forum provides business owners and entrepreneurs across numerous industries to connect with each other professionally and create a more-competitive market within their ventures.
“This annual forum has served as an important resource to help make contracting and procurement easier, fairer, and more accessible for New York’s minority- and women-owned businesses,” Governor Hochul said during her announcement Aug 23. “Now in its twelfth year, our MWBE forum will bring together business leaders, state officials, and other industry experts to discuss how we build a more equitable future in New York. I’m proud to host this year’s forum, and I urge members of New York’s business community to register today and join us.”
