We've Been Studying WBENC

WBENC's network spans 14 Regional Partner Organizations supporting over 17,000 certified women-owned businesses, with corporate members relying on platforms like WBENCLink2.0 for supplier discovery. During this leadership transition period under Interim President & CEO Nedra Dickson, your core team of 60+ employees manages massive-scale programming that drives billions in economic impact.

Your National Conference represents the pinnacle of supplier diversity events, requiring flawless registration management, attendee gating by certification status, and seamless integration with your existing Microsoft 365 workflows. We know that WBENC's reliance on external platforms like Zoom creates security review delays and data fragmentation challenges.

As a Microsoft Preferred Supplier with WBENC, OMWBE, WOSB, and SBA certifications, EventBuilder delivers the enterprise-grade event infrastructure your mission demands — built natively inside the Microsoft Teams environment your organization already trusts.
