How to Make the Most of Your Onsite Matchmaking Experience
NMSDC’s matchmaking sessions are designed to provide a setting for MBEs to connect with business opportunities, receive consultations, and access capital. Each year at the NMSDC Conference & Exchange, we host an in-person matchmaking event that facilitates direct interactions between MBEs and potential buyers, partners, and investors. During this webinar, MBEs will learn how to make the most of their onsite matchmaking experience, including strategies for effectively preparing, maximizing networking opportunities, and following up to turn connections into tangible business growth.
