Built around UNFI's strategic priorities

At the 2026 WBENC National Conference, we recognize UNFI's strategic focus on efficiency and supplier diversity. With recent Q3 2026 sales showing a 4.2% decline and aggressive cost-cutting measures underway, optimizing operations is paramount.

EventBuilder, a fellow WBENC-certified women-owned business, offers a unique opportunity to consolidate your event technology stack. We extend your existing Microsoft Teams environment into a secure, enterprise-grade event platform, eliminating the need for costly, disparate tools.

This approach directly supports UNFI's drive for financial prudence while enhancing the quality and security of your internal and external events, from supplier training to corporate communications, all within the IT-blessed Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
