The second annual two-day “Let’s Connect” conference will take place this week at the Hilton Vancouver Washington, inviting business owners and leaders who identify as BIPOC, women and veterans. BIPOC is an acronym meaning Black, Indigenous, and people of color.

The two-day conference starts at 5 p.m. Thursday, with a full day on Friday. The theme is “Progress not Perfection” and consists of diverse speakers, including keynotes and panelists from the West Coast.

“The goal is to build a better business community through inclusivity in Vancouver, while providing leaders from startups, small businesses and organizations from all sizes to network, learn and create authentic relationships,” according to a press release.

Tickets for the conference can be purchased at https://bit.ly/letsconnectconference2022.
