Business Development Institute Events

Business Development Institute seeks presentation proposals for its upcoming and ongoing events serving small business owners and public- and private-sector business development practitioners. It welcomes practical and inspirational sessions on small business growth, equity and inclusion, relationship building, public contracting, and related topics. Speakers may propose a Q&A presentation, panel, workshop, or keynote; presentations are held in person in the Portland metropolitan area unless otherwise noted. BDI selects proposals on a rolling basis, and speakers can gain exposure and connect with industry professionals.
