The Carolinas-Virginia Minority Supplier Development Council (CVMSDC) presents the Business Opportunity Conference (BOC ’26), a premier three-day experience designed to connect business owners with major corporate partners, government agencies, and industry leaders who are ready to do business. From high-impact networking to exclusive business engagement opportunities, every moment is designed to accelerate supplier connections and spark partnerships that last.
Whether you’re an established business owner looking to break into new markets or a corporation on the hunt for innovative suppliers, BOC ’26 is where the right people, the right conversations, and the right opportunities all come together.
Fifty years ago, CVMSDC was founded on a bold idea: that minority-owned businesses deserve a seat at the table. That idea changed lives, built companies, and transformed industries. Now, as we stand at the threshold of the next 50 years, we’re not looking back. BOC ’26 is a forward-facing celebration of what’s possible when all small businesses lead, innovate, and shape the economy of tomorrow.
Futurism isn’t just a theme. It’s a mindset. It’s the question we’re asking every supplier, every corporate partner, and every attendee to bring with them: what does the future look like, and how do we build it together?
