2010 Black Enterprise Conference Comes To Atlanta

The 15th annual Black Enterprise Conference and Expo is coming to Atlanta, Georgia on May 16-19, 2010. The theme is "Building Business Beyond Tomorrow". The event will be held at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel, and early bird registration is only $295.

The event will consist of several functions including:

The Deal Maker's Expo - a marketplace that offers a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to connect with each other and build business relationships;

The Small Business Awards - a star-studded award show created to provide special recognition to African American entrepreneurs;

The Kidpreneur/Teenpreneur Conference - a program that encourages young business talent to network and collaborate with each other;

and countless workshops and speaker sessions.

I don't think the event has ever been hosted in Atlanta, but if so - it has definitely been a while. This, in combination with the annual FraserNet PowerNetworking conference (which is also hosted in Atlanta this year), should be a real treat for Black entrepreneurs locally and nationally.

I will personally be at both events this year.

  1. There is this new television series called The Generations Project. Tonight they are showing an episode about an African American man who is an entrepreneur who learns about his great grandfather who was also an entrepreneur, in a very challenging time for African Americans. It looks like a really cool story. I just thought you might be interested.

    You can watch in online http://www.byu.tv/ or on BYU Television
    It airs at 8pm Mtn Time.

    Here's the show's website. http://www.byub.org/thegenerationsproject/
