Description

For over 20 years, Carriers World has been setting the agenda for the capacity market, delivering a high level and content driven event where wholesale operators and their partners find the solutions to their challenges, exchange ideas, network and build partnerships. The event has remained popular and relevant by continually evolving the agenda to include new topics and attracting industry leading speakers.

Carriers are currently undergoing a transformation that encompasses every aspect of their business including business process, commercial strategy, technology, corporate culture and employee skill sets. The evolving landscape of the carrier business demands that the industry offer a wider range of products and solutions to existing and new customers, as well as developing a service offering not justfor their own customer but for their customer's customer.

Digitalisation in the economy is seeing the industry ecosystem constantly expand and with this development comes new partnerships, new customers, new competitors and new service offerings. For 2019, we are reacting to the dynamic changes in the industry and so, whilst still including the traditional Carriers World content, we will also be adding two new tracks of content focusing on cloud & enterprise ICT and the new service and partnership opportunities emerging in the platform space.

Carriers World 2019 will deliver even more content, more attendees and a larger networking exhibition for suppliers to showcase the products and solutions that are enabling tomorrow's wholesale market.

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
