5 answeredThe conference starts on October 20, 2026.
The conference takes place at Suburban Collection Showcase in Novi, Michigan.
The council’s audience information includes small businesses, women-owned business enterprises, corporate partners, government agencies, healthcare, and public institutions.
It is most useful for owners of small and women-owned businesses seeking certification, financing or introductions to corporate buyers, since the organizing council provides exactly those services and its corporate partners, government agencies and healthcare organizations are among the audience. Larger established firms with no supplier diversity interest, and owners based far from the region around Novi, would get less from it.
Attendees at regional business and supplier-diversity conferences usually wear business casual to business professional, with blazers common, and comfortable shoes are sensible for a large exhibition hall venue such as the Suburban Collection Showcase in Michigan in October.
