There’s still time to make plans to attend the Penn Supplier Diversity Forum & Expo on Thursday, May 18. This event will bring together suppliers, buyers, local agencies, and organizations from across campus and throughout Philadelphia to celebrate supplier diversity; showcase the resources available to local, diverse and small businesses; and provide an excellent opportunity for business networking.

From noon-2 p.m., members of the Penn buying community are invited to visit the outdoor Expo celebration along College Green. Local and diverse suppliers will be joined by several community organizations in a large tented area where they will showcase their services and answer questions from event goers. An added treat for those in attendance will be the chance to enjoy tasty samples from many local caterers.

The Expo will immediately follow the Supplier Diversity Forum. Due to the high level of interest in the Forum and its limited seating capacity, registration has been closed for this segment of the program.

Advance registration to gain access to the Expo’s tented area and visit with the suppliers and several local organizations is required. Please bring your admission ticket with you for entry on the day of the event. The Expo will be on College Green along Locust Walk between 34th and 36th Streets.

The Penn Supplier Diversity Forum & Expo is hosted by the University under the auspices of the Offices of the President, Executive Vice President, Government & Community Affairs, and Penn Purchasing Services.
