​​HISTORY

The MBE University Conference was created by the O'Malley-Brown Administration in 2009 to provide a platform for creating connections that expand opportunities for small, minority- and women-owned businesses. This unique forum combines networking, matchmaking and professional development opportunities with educational programs focused on public and private sector procurement strategies.  The collegiate atmosphere creates an open exchange of information and ideas that benefits all participants.

The MBE University Conference has been hosted at locations across Maryland, drawn over 2,700 participants to date and become the gathering place for all stakeholders who support diversity.

MBE University is not a postsecondary educational program or course.​
