The technological revolution is here. From AI, clean energy, sustainability, infrastructure, financial innovation, and digital currency, these changes are revolutionizing how we interact with the world.

To keep pace with the transformation driven by technological advances, economic changes, and social equity, we need to Be Next, Now.

To Be Next, Now means being willing to explore, adapt, and take advantage of opportunities that already exist and will emerge. It means recognizing that the future is dynamic and that there is enormous potential to close technological, social, and economic equity gaps using new advances.

As change accelerates in this era of innovation, MBEs require collaboration and support. The 2024 Minority Business Economic Forum will convene in Seattle from May 14–16 under the theme of Be Next, Now. It will focus on a strategic and comprehensive approach to the advancement of minority businesses by fostering the expansion of an interconnected ecosystem that includes U.S. corporations, capital providers, stakeholders, academic institutions, entrepreneurs, and policymakers.

This year's Forum participants will:

• Be the next contract for MBEs in the alternative energy sector.
• Be the next legislator that levels the playing field for MBEs.
• Be the next leader in AI who will ensure a preeminent role for MBEs.
• Be the next capital provider to increase the capacity of MBEs.
• Be the next billion-dollar MBE!

Sessions will include the following topics:

• Examining trends and opportunities in clean energy.
• The impact of AI on business expansion.
• Strategies to turn MBEs into billion-dollar companies.
• Utilizing capital to boost MBE growth.
• Maximizing benefits from federal initiatives and investments.

The future is here.
The opportunity to advance and be interconnected is happening now.
Come on board to make this 2024 Minority Business Economic Forum in Seattle a success.

Be Next, Now.
