Join us for the Diverse Manufacturing Supply Chain Alliance’s ACCELERATE2024 National Education and Training Conference in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico (near San Juan) on February 20-22, 2024.

Welcome to the ACCELERATE2024 Event

Diverse Manufacturing Supply Chain Alliance (DMSCA) has hosted ACCELERATE annually since 2018. The conference is a point of contact for minority Small-to-Mid-sized Manufacturers (SMMs) and Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) gaining access to DMSCA’s ecosystem and offers a range of on-trend workshops, interactive programs, and presentations to keep conference attendees positioned to capitalize on developments within the supply-chain centric manufacturing industry.

Towards closure of the supply chain economic disparity gap, ACCELERATE is the nation’s premier event for connecting minority-owned SMMs with MNEs that are seeking value-added supply chain-ready suppliers to help mitigate supply chain performance risk and foster resiliency and transparency.

ACCELERATE2024’s goal is to facilitate business development through education, networking, and the fostering of trust-based relationships. The conference offers both SMMs and MNEs exclusive opportunities including:

  • Meetings with procurement purchasing officers/supply chain executives

  • Access to capital providers for potential deal development opportunities

  • Best practice learning sessions with the industry’s thought leaders
