Heading to @NMSDCHQ 2026 in Los Angeles? Come find @PopulusGroup at Booth 916.

From October 25-28, we’ll be at the NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange connecting with corporate members, suppliers, and fellow MBEs around this year’s theme: driving growth for shared prosperity.

This conference is always one of our favorite weeks of the year. It’s a few days of real conversations with business owners and procurement leaders who are building something together, and we always leave with new ideas and new friends.

If you’re going, come say hi. We’d rather catch up in person than over email anyway. See you in LA! 🌴

Jetheda Hernandez, NMSDC’s VP of MBE Programs & Services, says this year’s Annual Conference programming is built differently, because it’s built on data.

We looked at what thousands of attendees told us, studied which sessions and conversations drove the highest engagement and used those insights to shape programming around what creates value for our network.

From AI and strategic partnerships to supplier growth, capital, leadership and the future of business, Jetheda says, “This isn’t content for content’s sake. This is content designed to help you grow, connect, compete and win.”

The 2026 NMSDC Annual Conference & Exchange will bring founders, corporate executives, investors and industry experts together in Los Angeles for conversations focused on what’s next in business.

🎥 Hear from Jetheda on what makes this year’s programming different, and then make plans to join us in Los Angeles, October 25–28!
