CBE wants to connect Black suppliers with opportunities with our corporate sponsors! Learn about corporate supplier diversity programs and business opportunities with CBE corporate sponsors.

Representatives from corporate supplier diversity programs will be providing advice on how to get certified and get business with their companies!

Legal Pitch Day, now included in our supplier matching program, will be a 3-hour session dedicated to introducing in-house counsel and Black outside counsel to discuss opportunities for working together. Meetings will be 15 minutes.

Law firm registrants will specify practice areas in which they have expertise and interest in servicing clients. Legal departments and law firms will be provided lists of participating organizations and the opportunity to identify firms or legal departments they do not wish to meet with due to conflict of interest, e.g. opposing parties in litigation. No later than two weeks before Pitch day a schedule of legal department – law firm meetings will be circulated.
