On October 17, 2025, the Judiciary hosted its second annual MBE & VSBE Outreach Event at the Maryland Judicial Center, uniting Minority and Veteran-owned small businesses from across the state. This event provided an invaluable platform for entrepreneurs to engage with all exhibitors; 28 state agencies and resource partners, and to network with prime contractors through sector-based panel sessions.

We extend our deepest appreciation to all who participated. Special thanks go to our Prime Contractor panelists, whose insights and experiences added tremendous value. Their willingness to share what it’s like working with state agencies and subcontractors enriched the event and helped guide many attendees toward practical next steps.

Through meaningful conversations, new relationships, and practical knowledge exchange, we believe the event helped broaden access and understanding across our supplier community. We’re excited to build on this success and look forward to seeing you again at our next outreach.
