The Forum is uniquely designed to connect minority and women-owned companies with key decision makers to discuss contract opportunities for the Airport’s day-to-day operations. The Forum takes place as the Airport celebrates its best performance in eight years for passenger traffic, topping out at nearly 14 million total passengers in 2016. St. Louis Lambert now ranks among the top ten airports in the country for growing seat capacity at 9.1 percent last year.
The growth of airports nationwide and how local companies may achieve success in airport contract opportunities is the motivation behind this year’s Business Diversity Forum theme,
"Connecting Diversity to New Heights"
