Usman Mohammad will speak at City & State's Diversity & Procurement Summit on November 12, 2026, at New York Law School in New York City.
Usman will participate in the panel discussion, "From Certification to Contract: How To Compete & Win," which will explore how businesses can successfully pursue government contracting opportunities in New York State. His session runs from 1:50 pm to 2:50 pm.
As New York State continues to expand contracting opportunities for Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs), the session will provide practical guidance on identifying procurement opportunities, navigating the contracting process, satisfying compliance requirements, building strategic relationships, and leveraging MWBE certification to compete effectively for government business.
The Diversity & Procurement Summit brings together government officials, business leaders, and industry professionals to discuss strategies for increasing access to procurement opportunities and promoting supplier diversity throughout New York. Learn more about the event and register here.
