2020 Virtual Mass. Black Expo
The Mass. Black Expo (MBE) is a one-of-a-kind annual event that brings together Black business owners and entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and Black communities of the entire African diaspora in Massachusetts. As advocates and resource-providers for Black businesses, we know that the growth and economic health of our communities are dependent on the success of these entities.
In the midst of the global pandemic and our ongoing efforts to break down systemic racism, our theme this year is Reimagining Black Wall Street. Workshops, plenary sessions, and other events will focus on the broader economy of Black communities in Massachusetts and developing a vision for what the new world should be post-pandemic.
The goals of the MBE include highlighting Black businesses from all industries in Massachusetts, connecting them with procurement opportunities in the private and public sectors, sharing resources that help grow emerging or existing businesses, and creating an ecosystem of Black entrepreneurship.
The annual event is organized by the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts (BECMA) and supported by important community partners and stakeholders.
