MEGA|BIZFEST is an amalgamate of The New Majority Summit, the Delaware Franchise Showcase and the Minority & Woman Owned Business Procurement Trade Fair.

There looks to be a lot of great stuff going on, too much to put into just one post! Here are some highlights that you can find in the agenda:

PROCUREMENT- Meet and greet various procurement specialists in the banking, government, corporate, educational and private sectors. Talk specifically with those who procure goods and services.

FRANCHISING- Find out how to acquire and get into this fastest growing businesses industry.

ACCESS TO CAPITAL- Speak to lenders and banking officials who help small entrepreneurs with lending programs.

MARKETPLACE- Showcase your products and services to many prospective buyers by exhibiting at the MegaBiz Opt Marketplace

MATCHMAKING FORUM-Register to have one-on-one appointments between procurement & purchasing specialists and suppliers & cultivate business relationships

There’s also a business plan competition with over $10,000 in awards. The application deadline has expired for the 2005 competition, but you can always start planning for next year.

Fees vary depending on what you would like to attend. For more information, visit the website or download a brochure and registration form.

Oh yea, did I mention that this year’s Mega BizFest event is being held in alliance with the 17th annual DuPont Clifford Brown
