What first started fourteen years ago as an informal annual gathering of business leaders and human resource executives has grown into a national movement for diversity inclusion. The US Business Leadership Network’s Annual Conference is the flagship event for making the business case for hiring, retaining and promoting workers with disabilities, improving marketing strategies toward consumers with disabilities and contracting with vendors with disabilities through the development and certification of disability-owned businesses. The USBLN® Annual Conference is widely seen as the preeminent national event for business, community leaders and BLN affiliates nationwide.

The purpose of the annual conference is to assemble employers, BLN Affiliates, Corporate Members and other stakeholders to identify successful strategies aimed at diversifying workplaces, marketplaces and supply chains. The USBLN® Vision is to build workplaces, marketplaces and supply chains where people with disabilities can realize their full potential and be respected for their talents, economic self-sufficiency and entrepreneurship.
