James Frederick Thrower, president and CEO of Jamjomar, is going to be the keynote speaker at this year's event.

During the Arkansas 2020 Small, Minority and Women-Owned Virtual Matchmaking Event Sept. 17, businesses can attend 15-minute matchmaking meetings that will offer networking opportunities that could lead to contracts. In 2017, the state announced a 15 percent spending target for businesses owned by minority groups, women and service-disabled veterans.
