Are you a diverse supplier looking for new business in 2025? 

Are you a corporation or other entity looking to diversify your suppliers in 2025?

We’re happy to announce that to kick off 2025, IBA will be throwing our 2nd annual Supplier Diversity Day sponsored by Wells Fargo. Join us at Quorum at the Science Center on Thursday, January 30th from 9:00am-1:00pm for a morning and early afternoon of connecting our businesses to economic opportunity for the new year.

We’ll be inviting our corporate partners and other entities that engage in LGBTQ-inclusive supplier diversity to set up tables to meet the local LGBTBEs and other LGBTQ-owned businesses. There will be official matchmaking, in which we’ll be contacting our corporate entities to determine which vendors meet their needs followed by general networking and introductions when our certified vendors can go from table to table to leave an impression on decision makers. 

Corporations already confirmed for this year:
Philadelphia Gas Works
University of Pennsylvania
