The National Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Conference is the largest federally sponsored conference held on behalf of minority entrepreneurs and business enterprises.

For the last 27 years, the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) has brought you the nation's foremost business leaders to offer advice, counsel and insight to help minority businesses stay competitive in the marketplace. From Former Secretary of State Colin Powell and media magnate Malcolm Forbes to renowned author Hernando de Soto and Sun Microsystems' Chief Technology Officer Greg Papdopoulos, some of today's most important leaders have been on the MED Week stage, providing inspiration and guidance to our entrepreneurs.

MED Week remains a celebration of the contributions made by minority enterprises and a chance to recognize and honor accomplished minority business owners and advocates throughout the country.  Networking is a vital component to MED Week, and no conference provides you with the opportunity to connect with some of the most exciting and innovative minds in minority business.
