TROY, MI, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) is pleased to announce that Ford Motor Company will attend and exhibit at the 2026 NVBDC National Conference, taking place October 4–6, 2026, at MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit, Michigan.

Themed Mission: POSSIBLE, this year’s conference will bring together veteran-owned businesses, corporate procurement professionals, supplier inclusion leaders, and business decision-makers from across the country for three days of networking, education, relationship building, and business development.
Ford’s participation will provide veteran business owners with an opportunity to engage directly with representatives from one of the world’s most recognized automotive companies, learn more about potential supplier opportunities, and better understand how their capabilities may align with Ford’s procurement and supply chain needs.

“Having Ford participate in the NVBDC National Conference is especially meaningful as we bring Mission: POSSIBLE to Detroit,” said Elaine M. Taylor, Executive Director of NVBDC. “Our goal is to create direct access between qualified veteran-owned businesses and organizations that are actively looking to build strong, capable, and competitive supply chains. These are the connections that can open doors and create long-term opportunities.”

The 2026 NVBDC National Conference will feature one-on-one matchmaking, networking opportunities, educational sessions, expert-led panels, breakout sessions, a Veteran Marketplace, and direct engagement with corporate procurement representatives and decision-makers.

Veteran-owned businesses attending the conference are encouraged to visit the Ford Motor Company exhibit to introduce their companies, discuss their capabilities, learn more about potential procurement opportunities, and begin building relationships that can extend well beyond the conference.
Through NVBDC 3.0 and Mission: POSSIBLE, NVBDC continues to expand its focus beyond certification by helping veteran-owned businesses become better prepared, better connected, and better positioned to compete for opportunities within major corporate supply chains.
