SASDC Supplier Soapbox (July'25)

SASDC invites you to join our supplier soapbox as an audience member for FREE!

Join the movement!

Explore the thriving marketplace of certified Black-owned businesses.

Together, we can create a powerful voice for economic empowerment.

The concept is simple. The Supplier Soapbox is a virtual “stage” with a targeted audience of SASDC corporate buyers and certified suppliers. All of them are keen to discover exciting and unique offerings that would match their procurement needs, whether it be turn-key professional service solutions, innovative product offerings, or an offering in response to a niche new market opportunity.

We are proud to give certified Black-owned companies a platform to showcase their offerings and initiate invaluable connections and we hereby invite you to join these virtual sessions in the comfort of your office or home and hear what they have to offer.

 As Black businesses try to access new B2B markets, it is difficult for them to reach the correct audience for presenting their unique selling proposition to. This is why, in 2021, the SASDC Supplier Soapbox sessions were launched as a segment of our range of market linkage events. Supplier Soapboxes are now part of the SASDC’s annual linkage calendar and are highly anticipated sessions for our corporate buyers and certified suppliers.
