Business Conference

During this event you will hear from a panel of experts discussing how they leveraged their own network and Delaware community for their personal or professional growth. You will also be able to catch a glimpse inside the minds of Delaware's big businesses and how to access the diverse and small business supply chain. We will also have a portion of speed networking to make new connections IRL. Bring those business cards and get excited.
