A highlight of this year’s In Good Company conference will be “Matchmaker Madness,” a unique program that brings women business owners face-to-face with corporate buyers to facilitate buyer-supplier relationships. The Matchmaker event will be presented by WBEC-West, the regional partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). The goal of the activity is to establish connections between qualified women business owners and buyers from corporations and government agencies seeking diverse suppliers through a series of one-on-one meetings.
