Event description

Presented by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, MARKETPLACE is the Governor’s Annual Conference on Diverse Business Development. This event connects business owners from across Wisconsin seeking to do business with state, federal and local governments as well as the private sector. The conference provides the opportunity for established minority-, woman-, veteran- and LGBTQ+-owned businesses and small businesses to learn from and connect with resource providers, government representatives, corporate buyers and business professionals to lay a foundation for new partnerships and business opportunities.

SBA regional officials and Wisconsin staff will speak and host a resource table.  In FY23, small businesses in Wisconsin received more than $1.1 billion in federal contracts, with recent Federal legislation providing more opportunities to gain revenue by working on federally funded projects. 

Marketplace is preceded on December 10 by a free Contracting Academy webinar for those new to federal, state, and local contracting.  Register at the link.
