With a mission to serve local and support the AAPI small and medium business community in Central Texas, the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce Master Class series combines our minority business certification program with panel sessions featuring industry experts who offer critical advice and knowledge on business development in a casual question-and-answer format.
The Make It Center will provide tours of their fantastic facilities at the end of the Master Class. You can register to participate in a tour during the event.
There will be raffles and plenty of opportunity for networking - bring your business cards!
Is your company taking advantage of all opportunities? By becoming certified as a small and minority-owned vendor, your company can gain priority access to procurement contracts with organizations and entities committed to supporting historically disadvantaged businesses. Join us and learn how.
