From Conversations to Contracts:
Power of Partnering POP Events

GWBC®'s Power of Partnering (POP) events bring small business owners, women entrepreneurs, business leaders, corporations and procurement professionals into the same room for one purpose: creating better connections and stronger business opportunities. This half-day event combines expert-led education, small business networking and procurement-focused matchmaking, giving attendees the chance to learn, connect and showcase their capabilities in meet-the-buyer or matchmaker sessions.
Why You Should Attend:
- Meet & Greet Opportunities: Speak directly with corporate partners about your business.
- Networking Breakfast & Lunch: Connect with fellow small business owners, WBEs and corporate representatives.
- Keynote Speaker/Panel Discussions
- Perfect Pitch Semifinals: Cheer on your fellow WBEs as they showcase their businesses.
