The National Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Conference is the largest federally sponsored Conference held on behalf of minority entrepreneurs and business enterprises.
This year’s conference, The Power of Strategic Alliances in the Global Economy, was held September 3-5, 2008 and featured the nation’s foremost business leaders and policymakers who offered advice and insight to help minority businesses stay competitive in the 21st century. Tools, strategies and resources for developing global and strategic partnerships, accessing capital through partnerships and becoming an active player in global trade will be made available to you.
This year's conference was presented by the U.S. Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
