Message from Our Chair
Welcome to the Competitive Edge Conference Website on behalf of the Competitive Edge committee. Now in it's 30th year, this event offers exciting opportunities to integrate your business initiatives through networking, gain access to contracts, and build and strengthen relationships.
This year's theme commemorates the 30th anniversary, showing the continued commitment of the Competitive Edge agencies to supporting MWDBEs, SDVOBs, and ACDBEs in all aspects of business growth.
Congratulations to all our honorees, and a warm and sincere appreciation to our speakers, dignitaries, panelists, and media for their unwavering support. We are grateful to our advocacy partners and most importantly, to our small businesses, the economic engines of our community, whose contributions made this year’s conference a success.
