ABOUT THE EVENT

Connecting Corporates with Entrepreneurs: Advancing Ahead

The Diverse Business Summit London 2024 stands as the foremost event dedicated to enhancing the visibility, market readiness, and social mobility of diverse small businesses. This summit empowers these businesses to be future-ready, enabling them to effectively market their services to medium-sized enterprises and corporate organizations.

Scheduled for a single day on 15 November 2024, this event provides an exclusive platform to connect with supplier diversity leaders, departmental heads, and changemakers who are pioneering new standards in diversity and inclusion within their supply chains.

This year’s theme, “Advancing Ahead,” celebrates unity, resilience, and strategic collaboration between diverse enterprises and corporates. The summit offers invaluable insights into the intricacies of collaborating with corporate entities.

Entrepreneurs will benefit from forming strategic alliances with corporates, enhancing their visibility, and building the resilience needed to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities, ultimately increasing their income and market presence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this event a good fit for me?

If you are a service provider or even a product based business owner who has a desire to work with corporates in some capacity but needs the process on how to do it, then this event is for you. We have training workshops on corporate readiness and dealing with procrastination. You will be in a room of professionals and corporate decision makers.

Can you guarantee that I get a corporate contract?

Nope – we can’t do that as we don’t know what vacancies are available. Our job is to provide access, put you in a room to build relationships, to learn what it really takes to be corporate ready, to network with professionals and to leave with a plan of action on your next steps.

Will I be able to have one-to-one with the speakers?

The speakers are there for all of us. You will not be able to have a 1-2-1 meeting with the corporates unless this is arranged ahead of time through consultation. There is a meet the buyer opportunity that will take place post event.

Can I be a speaker at this event?

Unfortunately this is unlike other events where you can pitch to speak. We have hand selected all our speakers based on their experience with corporations and securing contracts without tendering.

Can I exhibit?

Yes if exhibition spots are still available, please visit the exhibitor page and follow the instructions there.

Why are there more male speakers than female?

Well here lies the problem. When we were recommended speakers for this event based on their experience, most recommendations were men in the field even when they came recommended by women. The event is here to help change that. Next year… let’s have more women speakers please!
