Attending the WBENC National Conference directly CONTRIBUTED TO SECURING AN ENTERPRISE-LEVEL INDUSTRIAL CONTRACT, expanding Mobi’s commercial footprint within the manufacturing sector, and accelerated the growth of the Women Owned Waste-Recycling Collective, adding additional waste and recycling companies to strengthen integrated solution capacity. A STRATEGIC MANUFACTURING COLLABORATION was activated with a global manufacturer... Additionally, the conference expanded Mobi’s operational support network by connecting us with experienced operators who are now contributing to growth strategy and scaling initiatives.

One of the most impactful moments for me at the WBENC National Conference led directly to a contract. Through a connection made on the Expo floor, a corporate partner personally introduced me to one of their key suppliers and encouraged them to work with my company. After consistent follow-up, that introduction turned into a contract about a year later.

At the Conference in New Orleans, I made a shift—I showed up representing my marketing company instead of focusing on another vertical. On the last day, I sat down at lunch with someone I had just met, and we instantly connected. She told me she had come to Conference specifically looking for marketing support but didn’t know where to start. Everything she needed aligned exactly with what we offer. That conversation turned into follow-up meetings after Conference, and she’s now become one of my favorite clients to work with.
