majority corporations and minority businesses. With the full commitment and support of

our board, current corporate members, and certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs),

the Indiana Minority Supplier Development Council (IMSDC) is Indiana’s premier leader in

supplier diversity awareness and minority business development.

This year’s conference and business opportunity fair builds on the proud tradition of over 20

years of experience hosting this event. With over 100 exhibit booths, educational seminars,

MBE matchmaking and serious networking opportunities; this year’s event is an opportunity

you will not want to miss!

This well attended event will incorporate all of the tools and resources you need to conduct

business and make good use of your valuable time. The rapid pace of change in this

challenging global economy makes innovative events like the IBOF invaluable for growing

your business and strengthening your supply base.
