The live event series is currently planned to launch in early 2015, and will feature panel and spotlight presentations from expert speakers who share knowledge on supply chain management, supplier diversity programs and retail supplier opportunities. The live events will also feature a business matchmaking session at which attendees have the opportunity to meet with representatives from corporations, government and supply chains.
“We’ve already seen what the power of education can do to help small businesses when it comes to accessing capital. Turning our education efforts now to success in the supply chain seemed the next logical step to helping small businesses through this economic recovery,” said Jeff Stibel, chairman and CEO of Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp.
