First Horizon Bank in partnership with Music City Center and the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce hosted the Small and Diverse Business Forum 2020, last month at the Music City Center.

The half-day event brought together large and small companies in the food and beverage and music sectors to have meaningful and transformative discussions with various industry experts, on how to do business with major companies in Middle Tennessee.

Participants were able to learn from procurement professionals and seek opportunities with major companies that are committed to doing business with small, minority, women, and service-disabled veteran businesses.

Companies attending included Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc.; Dove Awards; Limena, Inc.; Ryman Auditorium; Sodexo; and Warner Music Group.

The keynote speaker for the event was Mignon Francois, founder of The Cupcake Collection.
