In Case You Missed Our Recent Business Outreach Events…
This fall, the Host Committee and the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) held a series of business engagement events, and both organizations are thrilled with the turnout at each event:
- More than 700 business owners registered for the October 27th tele-town hall discussing business engagement opportunities;
- More than 400 people registered for the November 12th webinar, which took business owners through the process of signing up for the 2016 Vendor Directory; and
- Most recently, nearly 300 people registered for the November 16th Business Community Outreach Meeting to hear directly from Convention leadership, including Democratic National Convention Committee CEO Rev. Leah Daughtry, Mayor Michael Nutter, and Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee Executive Director Kevin Washo, about the preparations and vendor needs for the Convention.
