The Black Business Summit & Expo is the greatest annual gathering of black business owners, black professionals, and supporters of black business.
Each year we come together to network, educate, advocate, and advance through culture and creativity.
championing legacy...
"Every day in every way we are redefining what's possible through entrepreneurship, ownership, and creativity."
our story...
Initially produced in 2019, the Black Business Summit & Expo was the first gathering of it's kind Florida.
"The Summit" as it became known, was hyper-focused on connecting business, culture, and creativity in ways no other business conference ever had.
In March 2019, hundreds of black business owners, black professionals, leaders and legislators spent the day thriving. And after a brief hiatus, we're back for 2021.

Nothing connects us like communities we identify with. Networking allows for new friends, new family, and new adventures.

Life truly flourishes, when we take ownership. It’s paramount that we learn to own the property, product, and process.

We will never, ever, ever…
abandon the culture of our heritage.

One of our greatest gifts to the world is our creativity, and it should flow through all our business endeavors.

Givers leave legacies. When we are able to offer ourselves to those we connect, we create legacies that are unbreakable.
