MED Week 2022

Since 1983 Minority Enterprise Development Week, has been a national celebration recognizing minority-owned businesses and their contribution to our economy. Locally BDI has been the proud host of this fun celebration for Oregon and Washington since 1999.

Our annual MED Week conference features cutting edge educational workshops for both small business owners and diversity practitioners as well as a powerful keynote luncheon and fun networking events, and award recognitions.
