Rewind to the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Annual Conference & Exchange 2023—the largest minority business conference in the world. Over four days, the event gathered more than 5,000 corporate CEOs, procurement executives, supplier diversity professionals, and leading minority business owners from across the nation for extensive educational and networking opportunities.
While traditional exhibition booths were a hallmark of the event, VDart made a bold and unique decision: we went booth-less. Instead, we introduced something different—a concept that transformed into the beautiful initiative we call ‘The Letter Exhibit.’
From Booth to Impact: VDart’s ESG-Centric Approach
Before we dive into ‘The Letter Exhibit,’ here is a little history about VDart and our love for NMSDC events. VDart has consistently been a strong presence at all NMSDC events, and GMSDC and DFW MSDC are no exceptions. Winning the Supplier of the Year Class IV for two consecutive years, the Mega Award, the Eagle Award, and the Spirit of Alliance Awards are just a few accolades that keep us motivated and looking forward to the following year.
As a certified, proud Asian minority business owner, VDart approaches NMSDC events with a celebratory spirit. From the drumline to the firebreathers, we never miss a chance to showcase who we are on this platform.
In case you missed it last year, here’s a glimpse:
The Letter & The Letter Exhibit
Understanding the importance of NMSDC events as a huge platform for like-minded people to come together, we didn’t want to miss this opportunity. We embraced a completely different concept: erecting a tribute tower and housing ‘The Letter,’ an appeal to visitors to create impactful ESG awareness.
VDart’s very purpose is to “transform the trajectory of lives associated with us.” This statement isn’t just words; it’s reflected in our CSR activities and ESG initiatives.

From organizing vaccine camps in India to providing relief to seniors in rural Georgia by reducing the distance they had to travel for cardiovascular care and bringing joy to Rwandan women as they cradled their newborns, our actions speak louder than words.

A Journey Towards a Fairer World
The tower displayed a collection of photographs showcasing each of our activities. We were overwhelmed with the responses—tears of empathy and appreciation for our responsibility affirmed that, though our journey is hard, we are on the right path.
It’s More Than a Booth—It’s Our Story: Hear from participants who felt the impact. Discover why VDart exists and how our story of giving back is shaping the future.
We didn’t talk about our business efficiency, the series of awards that adorn our walls, or the effectiveness of our diverse global team running the business 24×7 successfully. Instead, we focused on the narrative of what we achieve through doing business with us and the relentless efforts of our team.
To us, this is our true success. As we always say, VDart is not just a business but a movement. Let’s join together to create a better place to live, for us and for generations to come.
See You at NMSDC 2024
