WBEC-East | Doing Business with the Gaming Industry

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

Our popular procurement-focused events link women business owners, supplier diversity leaders, purchasing professionals, and community leaders to gain access to opportunities and to build social and power networks.

In the first half, you will hear directly from procurement executives at 4 local leaders in the casino industry: parx casino, Caesars, Rivers Philadelphia, and Penn Entertainment.

After lunch get direct facetime with parx casino, Caesars, Rivers Philadelphia, and Penn Entertainment representatives during our most popular form of facilitated networking- Meet & Greets!

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

WBENC Certified women business enterprise firms looking to do business with the casino industry. Other diverse certified firms (MBE, LGBTBE, VOBE, etc.) are welcome as well.

WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE MEET & GREETS?

A Meet & Greet is like speed dating between certified WBEs and procurement executives, and gets you that coveted introduction handshake.

After the presentations, representatives of parx casino, Caesars, Rivers Philadelphia, and Penn Entertainment, will each be seated at individual round tables. WBEs are invited to sit down at the table of their choice- usually about 5-6 WBEs per table. Each WBE will take turns pitching their business, the procurement representative will share their information, and everyone will swap business cards.

After about 15 minutes, it’s time to go find another table and meet another Corporate Partner. This is an easy way to make a lot of new connections in a low pressure setting!
