Thanks to everyone who attended this year's Small and Diverse Supplier Expo! We hope to see you all again in 2024.

Recap of 2023 Event

Supply Chain Management, in partnership with the campus Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion and Health Equity, Diversity & Inclusion and UC Davis Health Procurement, continued our conversations with the small and diverse business community.

In addition to the UC Davis departments listed below, we partnered with the Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce, Sacramento Black Chamber of Commerce, Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Sacramento Rainbow Chamber of Commerce for the 2023 event. 

This year's event provided small and diverse suppliers an opportunity to meet in-person with Davis campus and UC Davis Health departments to learn more about their needs for goods and services and what steps to take to position their business to meet those needs.
