The OA26 LA Kickoff Brunch

Start your day with great food, meaningful conversations, and new business connections at the OA26 LA Kickoff Brunch!

Hosted by the Southern California Minority Supplier Development Council (SCMSDC) and the National Minority Business Enterprise Input Committee (NMBEIC), this casual networking brunch brings together entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals looking to expand their networks, exchange ideas, build meaningful connections, and explore new business opportunities.

The brunch is designed to be relaxed and welcoming, with no formal presentations or scheduled program. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy brunch, meet fellow business professionals, and build relationships in a comfortable setting.

A Day of Networking and Opportunity

The brunch takes place just before the OA26 Opportunity Accelerator, a free business development event held in conjunction with the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Annual Conference & Exchange, one of the nation's major gatherings focused on business growth, connections, and economic opportunities.

Following the brunch, attendees are invited to walk over together to the Los Angeles Convention Center for the OA26 Opportunity Accelerator, taking place from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

OA26 is designed to help businesses prepare for growth and connect with new opportunities. The afternoon will feature:

• Business Insights: A keynote presentation focused on competing and growing in today's changing marketplace.
• Business Readiness: Discussions and workshops to help businesses understand what companies look for when selecting suppliers and business partners.

Everyone Is Welcome!

You do not need to be certified, be an SCMSDC member, or have purchased a ticket to the NMSDC Annual Conference to attend the brunch.

Whether you're an established business owner, an entrepreneur just getting started, or a professional looking to make new connections, this event is open to everyone.
