ACCESS 2019 is designed to provide value to our Buying Entities and increase
business opportunities for our certified MBEs. The 1-on-1 meetings will provide
your representatives sourcing services for near term opportunities and to
actually visit with potential suppliers/providers. We are requesting your buyers
attend and participate in pre-scheduled 1-on-1 business meetings with our
certified D/FW MSDC MBEs at ACCESS 2019.
The New Members Management tools and the 1-on-1 matchmaking software
which will make the process easier and smoother for you and your buyers. We
will work closely with you and your buyers to ensure the requested 1-on-1
meetings are scheduled and you and your representative have complete and
detailed information starting April 19, 2019.
To receive optimum results from this new tool we need your help.
1-on-1 sessions will take place in the morning and afternoon of Tuesday, May
8th. Sessions will last 10 minutes each with 5 minutes in between each
session. Attached is a list of our current certified MBEs including their company
name, NAICS code and business description to help you identify which MBEs
you and your buyers may want to schedule a 1-on-1 meeting with.
(PLEASE NOTE: This data is proprietary & confidential to D/FW MSDC members
– DO NOT share beyond the scope of this event.)
The process is EASY:
• Send the attached list of D/FW MSDC certified MBEs to your buyers
immediately
• Ask buyers to pre-select MBE companies your buyers would like to meet
with, where they have near term opportunities through the end of the year
• You are also welcome to send us commodity/product/service specific
queries, if you prefer and we will respond with a list of MBEs.

The list should include the Buyers Full name, Company Name, email, phone
number and the MBE they would like to meet with. We will assist the buyers
with scheduling and selecting the suppliers using the online MMT and One on
One Software.

It’s important that you send this email and MBE list to your buyers as soon as
possible. Please send us the specific MBEs that your buyers have identified they
want to meet with no later than March 15, 2019. Send your list to
[email protected].

Your help and assistance this year is critical to ensure successful 1-on-1
sessions. Please note that we encourage you and your Buyers to also
participate in our Roundtable sessions at this year’s ACCESS Expo – stay tuned
for more details on Roundtables coming soon. See you at ACCESS 2019!
