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.
Procurement used to be the back office. The place where decisions got executed, not made. That era is over. Today, how you buy says as much about your business as what you sell, and the procurement table is where transformation, resilience, and ESG either become real or stay theoretical.
WHY THIS, WHY NOW
Markets are tighter. Supply chains are more complex. Corporates are being measured on outcomes, not intentions. This Roundtable unpacks the shifting procurement landscape and asks the harder question: how do we move from compliance-driven supplier diversity to strategic partnerships that actually build long-term economic value
WHAT WE WILL UNPACK
WHO SHOULD BE IN THE ROOM
Procurement and ESD leaders, transformation executives, supplier development managers, the ESDCoP, and SASDC corporate members and nonmembers ready to rethink the playbook.
