Chicago MED Week unites minority business enterprises (MBEs), corporate representatives and government agencies to maximize opportunities and resources for all parties involved.
Each year the Chicago Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Council, in conjunction with the Minority Business Development Agency, brings together diverse businesses, corporate representatives and government agencies for an event known as MED Week. The 29th Annual Chicago MED Week was held August 18 – 19, 2011 and continued the tradition of excellence associated with past events.
Highlights from the 29th Annual Chicago MED Week included a forum and panel discussion entitled the “Future of Minority Business,” which featured top panelists from the minority business community. An innovative matchmaker session, Next Level Business to Business Partnership Forum, paired diverse businesses with corporate supplier diversity professionals in an innovative method that featured a customized solution to meet supply chain demands. Chicago MED Week culminated in an fantastic Awards Gala which saw the induction of three new members into the CEO Leadership Circle of Excellence and multiple MBE Awards. MBEConnect served as a media sponsor for the event.
