Join us for a week of all things WBEC Metro NY & Greater DMV at our Week of WBEC virtual event, from May 12 to 15, 2026!<\/p>\n
If you aren’t a part of our network, our informative and outcome-based sessions will answer the question, “What’s in it for me?” and if you are a part of our network, curated sessions will show you how to more deeply leverage your certification and our programs and events to drive your business forward.<\/p>\n
From procurement to community and powerful introductions that lead to real business movement, you can’t miss Week of WBEC.<\/p>\n
A highlight of this dynamic week will be our Virtual Mega Matchmaker, held on May 13 and 14.<\/p>\n
This two-day, annual event brings together corporate partners and WBEs for 20-minute introductory meetings that explore potential contract opportunities. Make sure you’re a part of it!<\/p>\n
