The 2021 Forum & Expo will be a virtual event and begin with welcoming remarks from Penn President Amy Gutmann. She will be followed by Erika H. James, Dean of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania leading a discussion with Janice Bryant Howroyd, Chief Executive Officer of ActOne Group -- the largest privately held, minority-woman-owned personnel company founded in the United States - on the critically important socioeconomic benefits of diverse and inclusive workplaces.

The Forum will be followed by the popular Expo, also virtual, and will bring together local and diverse suppliers for showcasing their services among Penn’s community of buyers. Local agencies and organizations also will be on hand to celebrate supplier diversity and showcase their resources available to local, diverse, and small businesses.

The virtual Penn Supplier Diversity Forum & Expo is hosted by the University of Pennsylvania under the auspices of the Office of the Executive Vice President, Office of Government and Community Relations, Division of Business Services, and Facilities & Real Estate Services.
