Every Impact with Local, Diverse Businesses Creates
a Powerful Multiplier in Communities

Our Commitment to
Supplier Diversity

The Organizing Committee of the 23rd World Petroleum Congress recognizes that partnering with Houston’s network of diverse-owned businesses is a powerful multiplier in innovation, economic growth and community development.

We aim to create lasting value through our business activities and commit to engaging with suppliers that reflect the diversity of the Houston market and share our core values in fulfilling our important mission.

Potential
Opportunities

Through contracting opportunities, we place our supplier diversity commitment into practice, measure performance and elevate impact.

This section outlines the general categories of anticipated goods and services required in support of the 23rd World Petroleum Congress. These business opportunities may lead to prime or subcontracting awards – or referrals to companies and/or organizations associated with the Congress.

Vendor
Registration

We’re utilizing the Houston First Corporation Vendor Diversity Portal (B2GNOW) to promote contracting opportunities associated with the 23rd World Petroleum Congress. Businesses already active within the Vendor Diversity Program do not need to take further action until opportunities are made available. We also welcome new registrations into the Vendor Diversity Program.
