 Mission:

The purpose of the Black Business Owner Summit is to provide attendees with the insights and business strategies to take your business to the next level. The summit is a full day masterclass style event where attendees can immerse themselves in best practice strategies focused on business operations, business risk, and elevating brand awareness. 

Upon arrival on Tuesday morning, you'll be welcomed to check in at the new Meta offices located at 50 Hudson. Once checked in breakfast will be offered while having the opportunity to network with other business attendees as well as business advisors from:

  • Venture Capital
  • Private Equity
  • Business Consulting
  • Accounting
  • Corporate Law
  • Business Owner Network Groups

Throughout the day, there will be motivational discussions with business owners and masterclasses focusing on:

  • Growth & Action Planning
  • Assessing & Managing Business Risk
  • Revenue Growth

Attendees will have three blocked opportunities to network. The first will be in the morning. The next opportunity will be during lunch. Finally, attendees are encouraged to continue discussions during the summit cocktail hour. During our cocktail hour we will announce our scholarship to a business entrepreneurship program.

Don't miss the opportunity to learn from our experienced list of speakers. Attendees will also have the opportunity to further their learning with invitations to one hour masterclasses by the speakers at the summit.
