The 2021 Section 3 Expo (S3E) is the nation's only gathering of HUD-financially assisted entities who are required to meet federal mandates outlined in the 24 CFR 135.
This annual gathering brings together Section 3 Small Businesses, and HUD financially assisted entities in one place with one goal–to increase contracting opportunities for low-income, under-resourced entrepreneurs.
Each year, the ROBICONNECT platform hosts 4 annual events all geared towards improving compliance and contracting opportunities. Each expo will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, policy experts, engagement incentives, networking, and the amazing ROBI Piranha Pitch Competition.
The Resident Owned Business Incubator (ROBI). ROBI exists to train, license, and credential small resident-owned businesses and equip them with the tools to remain a growing concern in their local economy.
