About the event
Join us for the Official Kickoff Party: Boots on the Ground - the high-energy launch to the 2nd Annual Buffalo Niagara MWBE Training Day Conference. This one-of-a-kind mixer at 500 Pearl brings together MWBEs, sponsors, and community leaders for an evening of networking with a purpose. Expect a fun twist on business with our 60-second pitch contest (timed!), a Best Boots contest (steel toes to stilettos), raffles, giveaways, and plenty of surprises. With music by DJ Timeless Tunez, this event is where the business community comes to connect, celebrate, and get ready for conference week. It’s 3 Hours, 2 Bars, 1 Cause — supporting The RARE Place, Inc. and its mission to build capacity, capital, and community for MWBEs across Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
