MICHIGAN MINORITY PROCUREMENT CONFERENCE (MMPC)
The Michigan Minority Procurement Conference (MMPC) is the region’s premier business conference focused on connecting national and local corporations with the top NMSDC Certified businesses. Prior to the pandemic, this three-day event, which is held annually in Detroit at Huntington Place, has included an action-packed trade floor with over 200 exhibitors with exposure to 2,000 attendees. The event also features business workshops, seminars, industry-specific forums, business consulting sessions, and a procurement matchmaker where MBEs can speak one-on-one with corporate buyers for real opportunities.
This two-day conference is filled with valuable tools for activating your business including workshops, seminars, industry-specific forums, procurement matchmaking sessions, and an all-day business opportunity exchange trade fair. Our focus is to provide valuable resources to ensure your business will thrive in 2025 and beyond by creating invaluable opportunities which create real connections and stimulate growth. MMPC is not your traditional conference. Participants can expect a hands-on experience that will define actionable tasks they’ll be able to apply, track and monitor to further improve operations and success.

We rely on you to protect yourself:

- Wash your hands with soap and water or sanitize your hands often, particularly after you touch surfaces touched by others.
- Avoid touching your face.
- Maintain appropriate physical distance from others.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a mask/face-covering
Even with precautions in place, there is still some risk of exposure to COVID-19. We are committed to keeping you healthy and safe and have taken a number of precautions, including those recommended by applicable health authorities, but we cannot guarantee you won’t be exposed to COVID-19.
