Make Plans to Attend MED Week 2010

Make Plans to Attend MED Week 2010

Learn About the Power of Relationships with Tribal Nations

Even though the focus of MED Week 2010, scheduled for August 23 - 27, 2010 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC, is global in nature, there are still plenty of opportunities to network and partner with Native American businesses. 

The Conference is sponsored by the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), a vital agency within the Department of Commerce and an important driver for opportunities for minority businesses. MBDA worked extensively to incorporate Native Americans in this year's MED Week Program and there are several events that will take place supporting this effort. 

Chief among these efforts is the session entitled "The Power of Business in Indian Country" (Thursday, August 26th, 1:45 PM – 2:45 PM).  This session will focus on the strategies and advantages of doing business with Tribal nations and Tribal Business Entities.

Through joint ventures, investments, mergers and acquisitions there are tremendous opportunities to partner with Native businesses. The panelists will discuss public-based incentives ranging from 8(a) contracting to market-based incentives, tax advantages, favorable business laws, purchasing power, and a brief review of relevant case studies.  Real life examples will be provided on how to develop new and robust business relationships in Indian Country.

Opportunities for networking continue at Thursday night's social event - Weaving Relationships in Indian Country at the Hard Rock Café – from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM.  The Hard Rock Café is the renowned and tribally owned international business franchise.  Wind down and enjoy this Business to Business networking mixer with your colleagues, other MBEs, Corporations, Tribes, and the Native American Business community.

Click here to be taken to the conference website to see all that will be offered during this exciting week.

Don't delay! Space at the conference is limited so click here to register for MED Week, one of the most important conferences you'll attend this year!

Dean Baker: When Wall Street Rules, We Get Wall Street Rules

Dean Baker: The middle class is getting whacked by the Great Recession. Fifteen million people are out of work, another 9 million workers can only find part-time jobs, and millions more have given up looking for work altogether. This pain is infuriating for two reasons. First, this was an entirely preventable disaster; second, we know how to get the economy out of this mess. If this disaster was preventable and we know how to get out of it, why didn't our leaders try to stop it before it happened? Why don't they take the steps necessary now to get the economy moving again? The answer to both these questions is simple; the politicians work for someone else. Click here to read more.
