Athlete powered workforce and supplier business development

Athletes Make The Best in Utility, Energy & Construction Breakfast is where athletes who build businesses, industry leaders who move markets, and the next generation of workforce and supplier talent show up to compete for real opportunity, not applause. Located in the host region of the world's largest international soccer finals and 15 minutes from the World Cup Fan Fest, on a rooftop above "The World's Borough" of Queens, NYC, we are not networking. We are building the team that builds the world's infrastructure. Because everyone needs a team to compete in the game of life.

This event is available in person and virtually for prospective suppliers and job seekers ready to connect with the employers and partners who are building right now.
