What is MED Week?
The Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Conferences are the largest federally sponsored activities held on behalf of minority business enterprises (MBEs).

Since 1983, the U.S. President has proclaimed a National MED Week observance to recognize the outstanding achievements of MBEs and to honor those corporations and financial institutions that support minority business development. Annual regional conferences and activities are organized by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) in collaboration with the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of Government Contracting and Business Development. These events culminate at the National MED Week Conference in Washington, D.C, which provides a unique forum to address the major issues affecting the growth and development of MBEs.

When is the next MED Week?
The next National MED Week will be held on September 7-10, 2004. Additionally, our 5 (five) Regional Offices hold MED Week Conferences (in their area) towards the end of August throughout September. We are currently gearing up for the upcoming MED Week 2004 Conferences.  We have posted event locations and times on the Official MED Week Site, http://www.medweek.gov.
